Get tired of IB

Hi everyone,

I’m tired of IB, pissed of, whatever you want. I did a bachelor in corporate finance from a top 5 business school and I will do a master degree in sustainable finance and fintech from sep2024, I will need to find my last internship by April 2025. I don’t know what to do, I don’t want to work in IB, PE or even VC. I did internships in M&A boutiques and in IB but it’s not for me. What should I do ? Is it possible to switch to consulting, business development or even data analytics (part of my master is about data, fintench, blockchain etc). Furthermore, I don’t want to live in big cities.
