Exit Opps for People who Dislike Networking?

Going into IB because I'm not entirely sure what I want to do in life, and opportunities lined up to make it happen... Very grateful, but networking (with employers or with peers) has not been something that I enjoy, even if I am decent for it.

I understand that senior IB is about who you know, and similarly for PE the real work is sourcing - what sort of opportunities should I be thinking about that would fit my personality? Corporate is already on my radar - I don't mind getting along and networking within a defined group or hierarchy, I just really don't like the idea of having to network with every single person in the industry that I meet. Thank you!
