What’s after IB & PE?

Saw the High Yield Harry tweet asking what to do after 2-3 years in IB followed by 2-3 years in buy-side. What does one do next in their career if they’re burnt out from PE? My mind goes to corpfin, but couldn’t you just do that right out of IB? MBA, okay but what about after that? What have some of you done following a IB & PE stint?
