Exit Opportunity for Structured Products Trader

Hello all,

Lately, I started to feel trading is less and less fun. I am not sure I will eventually become a PM. I am just wondering if anyone is/was in a similar situation. I am getting tired from looking at bonds everyday.

I don't cover CMBS/CRE, I don't think transition to RE is an option (although I do have some interests in CRE). What are some exit opportunities? Maybe mortgage financing or specialty financing (SoFi)? Has anyone switch to a different industry? If so, how did you do it? I also have some interests in sports/gaming industry - just wondering how likely is it to find a product management type job with DraftKing or other similar platform

Thank you!
