Lateral from S&T

I am starting my FT S&T analyst career at RJ shortly after graduation in the coming months. I accepted the offer after completing an internship even though it was not a sales and trading based internship. I like the company culture as a whole but do not know much about the S&T culture within RJ.

If I were to not like the work at RJ and wanted to move to another firm or industry (like consulting), what would be the most viable options? I'd like to point out that I am coming from a southern state school and that I landed the internship and FT from networking my ass off and having a considerable amount of financial knowledge/being a great people person. Not sure if that info helps, just giving some context.

squids, pure crickets, that's where I come in. Any of these useful?

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
