If You Didn’t do IB (or PE) What job would you want most next?

Pretty much title, need backup plan. Any jobs offer high potential for comp, interesting work? Don’t say PWM/PB. Can CorpDev pay well in senior roles? Corporate finance like FP&A, Treasury, and accounting sounds boring af to me. Real estate investing also sounds boring af.
