Feeling lost career wise

4-5 years into my career and I am completely lost on what to do next. I have done prestigious jobs but have been unfulfilled/let go from them (consulting/IB, then PE). I have come to the conclusion that I am just not good at these types of high pressure roles. I have saved up some money but I am very discouraged on my career trajectory.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and if so, how did you figure out your next steps. (MBA, low stress job, start up, ect)?
