Exit opportunities for Rating analyst position in Insurance at the top 3 CRA (Credit Rating Agencies) in Europe

Hi,

I am wondering about the possible exit opportunities after working as a rating analyst for Big 3 CRA in the Insurance practice in Europe. One obvious change is going directly to work for the insurance company. Which positions at the insurance companies could be the most attractive?

Are there any other opportunities besides insurance companies?

In the US, I've heard of people who've exited to Asset Management and credit risk management. I also know that corporate treasuries like to hire CRA people. Keep in mind that these people were in the US and not covering insurance though, so I'm not sure how relevant this is. You'd probably have an easier time finding insurance and financial services related jobs because insurance is a unique industry.
