Thoughts on Consumer / Retail Vertical

Hey all, 

I am starting my career in IB in the consumer retail vertical at a mid-tier EB. What's the industry's outlook like? Is it heading in the same direction as O&G? Is it a good vertical to start a career in? What do potential exits look like? 

Thanks!
