Should I exit to Biz Ops

Hi,

Was a consultant before, ended up PE and then HF. Fund blow up last year, and have been looking for finance roles but thinking about transition to corporate. Main reason being margin compression in services + AI headwinds in investing. Also want better WLB since being a CIO - 1 would end up being CIO next, but doesn’t have the resource to succeed.

Should I find the most interesting corporate business out there and just transitioned in? Feel like most business where I have an interest would reply back to me.
