What are some exit opps for equity derivatives?

I’ve seen on this forum quant shops are not really an exit opp but volatility arbitrage funds are. What are some other potential exit opps out there for those in this desk?

bump bump - I would personally think some sort of trading/execution trading role at a HF (vol arb, multi-strat, long/short, global macro, etc.)

 

thanks man. do vol arb funds hire execution traders? i thought these traders make investment decisions. would appreciate it if you could elaborate a bit.
