What are some creative exit ops for a junior banker?

Hey all,

Did a ton of searching to no fruitful avail. What are some non-traditional exit opps that bankers take? Looking for a risky leap that'd be a good investment; looked all across LinkedIn and other job boards and most things say you need min 1-3 years. I'm 3 months in IB M&A and want to plan to leaving around 6mo-1yr mark.

Thanks!
