On this site there is a lot of hype for these three traditional roles, I was wondering what other options out there in finance do you think are underrated or worth a look that are satisfying, good comp, provide good exit opps and are just all around worth a like that you think deserves more attention?

I think asset management jobs can be great. From the investing side, if you can lock in your position at a good shop you’re golden, lifestyle is amazing and your comp can be huge.
As well, the relationship managers can make a lot of money. Less than the investment team, but again you’re working less. A lot of shops will eventually let you buy in too, so you can have equity ownership on carry / fees.
Idk if this counts for what you’re asking, but corporate development can be a sick job. Especially if you’re doing it for a company you like.
Ya this site kinda looks down on Corp dev but I bet there is some sweet opportunities I just don’t know where to look
No idea, but I’ve heard really good things about the acquisitions teams at Amazon and Shopify. If you wanted you could probably pretty easily pivot to a VC after some of these too.
That actually sounds really interesting, I’m gonna have to do some research on that thanks for supplying your two cents!
Family Offices can be underrated. If you can find the right ones, you could get great exposure to many different markets and processes.
I suggest Financial Advisory Services divisions at accounting firms. I worked at one of them. You could be getting some very, very technical stuff if placed into the right group. You will also be doing smaller-sized deals as financial advisors, depending on your firm's caliber.
