Help needed for FT - Deal orientated or fast paced careers in finance

This summer I will be applying for FT positions in London. I attend a top tier UK based target university.

All of my experience thus far has been in sell side research (FI) which while I found interesting, I always felt like the work flow was too slow and often slacked off due to lack of pressure/deadlines.

Looking forward I guess I'd like a career which is a bit more demanding. All recommendations welcome!! Pros/cons of each could be useful too.
