Best Roles Outside IB/Trading within an Investment Bank

So, as someone who didn't manage to score an IBD SA role, nor am I particularly keen on the working hours/ stress that comes with. I'm wondering what are some of the roles (popular or unheard of) that can produce close compensations to IBD roles, and which of these roles could could be deemed the least stressful but still opens up relatively good exit opportunities. I understand Credit/Market Risk may be one.
