What else can you do after IB?

Trying to lateral to same industry group. Having some difficulty because my current bank does not do a lot of M&A. It made me maybe consider moving to another industry - I am not crazy about banking. Not interested in PE. What should I be looking into? Anyone made a move into a more fulfilling role?
