Mid/Shit tier bank exit opps?
Hey guys was hoping for some input. I'm a 2nd year analyst trying to figure out how best to leverage my IB stint into a cool exit opportunity. I tried a few PE interviews, but being a very average candidate all around I didn’t pull any offers. I'm looking for an industry where IB experience in general matters more than what prestige bank I worked at. What have you guys seen others do? Although I know I could always just lateral to BB/EB like some of my peers have, I'm definitely looking to exit, just not sure where to look

Corp dev, credit funds, startups are all options, what do you cover? What do you like and dislike? Like the work, hate the hours?
I cover energy, both traditional O&G and Renewables. Lots of ECM and DCM type work, little to no m&a experience. I find the work decently stimulating, but I cant stand the hours (9am-1am-ish). I think if I could find a place that values IPO experience i'd be able to knock an interview like that out of the park. I was thinking either endowments of or a clean energy startup, but really in a "searching" mode right now.
What about IR at a large corporate? Maybe an infra fund?
How do you work on both ECM and DCM? Has to be like a BNP level bank?
An endowment would be a great option where the IB experience in general is valued. Great hours & pay and really interesting place in the investing ecosystem. The issue would be finding an endowment with an opening. The turnover tends to be lower.
Hi OP I echo with a lot of your situation. No you don't want to go into an infra fund.
May I ask what do you mean when you say startup? Size, sector, etc. I also do a lot of IPOs and close to nil M&A experience. I have done some project finance (very similar to LBO). Mid/shit tier bank too.
