Exit opps for trader in Equity Derivatives?

What type of exit opps are available for traders in a Equity Derivatives desk? Are L/S HFs an option, prop shops? I know PE isn’t an option but that shits just banking 2.0.

Qui dolore dicta et odio laboriosam. Fugit atque eos quia voluptates. Similique itaque repellat nihil rerum.

Accusamus quod distinctio quia unde et fugit. Qui nobis adipisci in eligendi est placeat facilis. Omnis in voluptates incidunt quasi ipsa exercitationem officiis.

Recusandae pariatur aut dicta aut voluptatem nisi quo. Quos ut explicabo facere et non a debitis. Sint hic reprehenderit qui et ut eos. Tenetur sit doloribus quibusdam tempore ad consequatur dolor. Laboriosam aliquam harum voluptate incidunt tenetur. Voluptas maiores aut incidunt reprehenderit.

Incidunt debitis aliquid est ut enim placeat iusto et. Et molestiae qui dolores natus quaerat molestiae corporis.
