Not really sure what to do next, but I know I don't want to stay in banking long-term. PE seems like banking 2.0, I don't think I can stomach the Corp. Dev. pay cut, not sure I am smart enough to hack it at a hedge fund, etc.
For anyone who has experienced this type of career paralysis but did end up leaving banking, where did you go and what has your experience been since leaving?

I haven't left but wondering the same, leaning towards Commercial/Corporate Banking in a Tier 2 city probably.
FP&A / Corpdev at a company that aligns with your interest could also be cool
