Non-Quant Public Markets Careers

So, from what I've read on this forum and elsewhere, it's starting to look like all non-quant jobs in the public markets are dying out. For example, S&T is getting largely automated, and non-quant hedge funds are losing assets to passive/quant strategies. Are there any non-quant jobs in the public markets that are still worth it as viable career paths?
