Best Sector Overall to be in for IB

Is there a sector in IB (tech, consumer, healthcare) that is by far the best in terms of long-term success, exit opps and future of the sector as a whole? I know most people would say tech but I'm sure there's a case to be made for other sectors like consumer / retail.

Are there any reasons why tech is not the best IB sector to be working in?
