What Next? 5 years of Corporate Banking + 3 years of Institutional Investing

Hello, current PT-MBA at a T20 working in fixed income institutional investing (think Met, Pru, NYL) with prior experience in corporate banking (think JPM, Citi, BofA) for a specialized industry (modeling and deal intensive). I am unsure of what to do after graduation. I really like the fixed income gig and could see myself there long term, but would like to keep my options open. I am interested in a lot of things, but IB/PE not so much (not really qualified, either). In my current gig, we do a lot of work with our chief investment office and perhaps that's a function I would transition over to (either at the same company or different one).

Any thoughts here? I realize my both my professional and educational experience are both somewhat in the limbo of things, meaning: 5 years of corporate banking isn't equivalent to 5 years in IB and 3 years fixed income investing at a large insurer isn't quite the same as working in Apollo or Carlyle's credit funds (also being PT and not FT in school), etc. At this point in my life, I do not want to work 100 hours a week. I am more curious about what exits might be available to me with this experience + MBA.

Thanks!
