IB Exits: Career with MOST potential to earn?

If you could get any exit opportunity (which has been achieved in the past by an investment banker) from an investment bank, where would you go (EXCLUDING entrepreneurship) if your goal was to make the most money possible 10-15+ years down the road? Would you go into MF PE and grind towards becoming a partner? Break into HF and make it to PM? Any other extremely lucrative careers? What would you all pick if lifestyle/work culture wasn't a factor and you were just a greedy monkey trying to earn the most bananas possible?Of course, I know chances of making PM/Partner in HF/PE is quite slim, but if you were going to put all your hard work into the career that makes the most money post-IB (with the exception of entrepreneurship because of the risks involved), which career would you shoot for? What comp are you aiming for in that career?

Stop bumping your own threads you twat. We get it, you're poor and are obsessed with money and all the way from Kelley/Stern, you're froathing at the mouth about being a millionare.

Now stop spamming WSO with " What's your (realistic) dream home?" " Careers that can consistently make 5-10MM(Or More) Annually" "Would Starting IB In Hong Kong Be Perfect For Canadians?"

Edit: Whole thing is funnier because you're canadian
