Exit Options for FinTech Investment Banking

I searched various threads on this forum for fintech banking options but could not find a clear answer. Could someone please point at some exit options after doing 2-3 years of Investment Banking in FinTech coverage (as part of FIG or TMT but focusing just on Fintech). Could it be VC, PE or CorpDev at FinTech companies. How is the deal flow for fintech? Would I be pigeonholing myself too much? I might be open to jump into fin-tech startup scene once I have better credentials and better business ideas. I am starting my MBA this fall at a top 10 school. Thanks!

The pigeonhole is minor if at all. If you're capable and good, your options are as wide as any other group. I've seen fintech exits run the gamut of everything you mentioned. There is a lot of action in the space right now so long as you can get into a good platform. Finding a good exit is a matter of your ability to interview and demonstrate your capabilities to your audience, that's it.
