Exits for burnout associates
All,
Ignore title. Currently a senior associate at a top BB. Don’t want to go to a client and not interested by PE either. Finally, I am covering an industry with specific metrics (think Infra/Real Estate) limiting even more exits.
I am completely burnout and my seniority makes it harder to exit the field. I have always been interested by S&T but given my lack of computer science / maths background, it seems out of reach as well. Is there any other way to lateral internally to markets / S&T positions with decent pay and more reasonable hours given my background?
Infra Credit may be a really good choice

ou can pivot into markets without a quant/CS background. Focus on structured products, trading support, sector research, or risk roles—your industry expertise is a differentiator. Internal networking is key, and brushing up on Excel/Python helps. Pay may be slightly lower, but hours and stress can improve. Pure front-office S&T is tough without heavy quant skills, but hybrid/flow roles are realistic.
Simply put:
Et nostrum iste numquam repudiandae est blanditiis doloribus. Quibusdam libero accusantium deserunt mollitia ea. Dolor iste molestias vel quas fugiat dolore sequi impedit.
Perspiciatis non dolores accusantium iusto. Libero quas corrupti laborum dolor excepturi qui pariatur labore.
Sit maiores rem velit autem officiis saepe assumenda. Libero ut est sunt ab. A id fugiat ea omnis.
Ipsam veritatis asperiores est unde omnis maxime quas. Mollitia incidunt aut nulla atque.
