Been discussed countless times before on this forum.
Corp dev, fp&a for starters. Strategy at a startup, though hours can be hit or miss.
Project finance
Valuations at many shops
Equity research - hours aren't a 9-5, but quite a bit better than IB and very predictable (i.e. mostly busy around earnings). Very heavy on the modeling side even as a senior, so if you really like hanging out in Excel it's a decent spot
Corp dev is the other one. Again WLB can vary drastically between shops... anywhere from a 9-5 with a few busy weeks, to underpaid for more or less banking hours
