Figuring out Exits Choices as an IB Analyst

Currently an AN1 at a BB in tech group. I’ve seen all the different opportunities (From PE to HF,) but am struggling to try and figure out what would be the best fit for me. Aside from just talking to people in industry, are there certain personality indicators or personality types that go into say VC/GE versus PE versus a public markets role?
