Decided not to do on cycle ... need help going forward

Hi! Struggling to sus out what I want to do next. Would love some advice.

Decided not to do on cycle this year because it's way too early.

Looking to do something in the consumer space but also want better hours than banking and culture.

Does anyone have any recommendations or where else to be looking besides PE?? Thank you.
