Best industry/corporate Exits after Infra or Energy IB

Hey everyone,

What are the best exit ops for those of us won't feel like transitioning to PE funds after the traditional 2-years analyst stint?

Looking to maximize income while averaging 45-50 hours a week (Europe).

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Have you only done energy? If you had any experience in other sectors try to sell your knowledge and experience in those for other roles, unless you want to work in the same field
