FIG AN1

Looking for career advice. Hate the vertical, feel like there are no exit opportunities and learning is not what I had would’ve hoped it to be. At a BB so feel like I would’ve seen better exit opportunities but for whatever reason I have not. What should I do before I’m pigeonholed? Take a MM PE gig, transfer to a different vertical as an associate? Appreciate any advice / experience from people who have been through this.
