My opportunities right now are BB CB energy group, mid-market PEs, and F500 Corp Dev.
I know that recruiting into IB w/out a junior year SA is an uphill battle, but I'm going to give it a shot next year.
CB I like because it is the most plausible job to be able to roll into full-time if I can't get IB, although I don't really want to be in energy IB. Am I pigeonholed to energy if I take the CB, and how will F500 or PE play for FT recruiting?

What industry is the F500 and what industry/strategy for the PE shop?
If you want banking, BB energy CB is probably your top choice but need to know more
F500 is consumer finance.
Live options in REPE and healthcare & tech (one fund-of-funds and one opportunistic) PE shops. REPE is my endgame in 2-4 years, don't want to be a career banker and don't envision myself in energy, but I'd never pass up a solid path to that kind of money.
