Non PE/HF/CorpDev Exits

As context, I'm a junior analyst.

Been thinking that banking doesn't give you all kinds of great exit opps people seem to talk about. 

If you are not a PE/HF hardo and you cannot care less for a corp dev position (because it's boring from networking conversations, a pesrpective thing), where did you go after your banking career?

Like, actual destinations and roles.

PS: I believe Strategy & Operations roles favor management consultants over bankers?
