If not IB then what.

Hi all,

I'm one of those IB hopefuls (final year at uni) who don't really know that much about the finance job market. So question to you all: if I wanted to go into IB but can't get a grad job, what kind of other fields should i be looking at where i'll have good (well, let's say a chance of) exit options to IB?
