Where to go if I'm not a deal boy

Accepted a PE SA offer and received a few IB offers as well. People I network with in PE like to speak about how they enjoy doing deals, which makes me rethink whether the IB/PE path is right for me at all, as I've come to realize I don't like the deal-driven nature of the work (from past internships). Does this mean I should look into HF/AM type roles?
