Forced to leave Investment Banking

If you were forced to leave IB (4 months instead of planned 8 months), what other division in the bank would you move to and why (the ultimate goal is to return to IB as soon as possible)?

I am currently in this situation and was thinking moving to ER/ECM/DCM/S&T

Anything helps.
