Exploring less common exit opportunities after banking?

Navigating less common exit opportunities can feel daunting but is often rewarding. I’ve heard from several community members who have successfully maneuvered into unique paths like startups, non-profits, or advisory roles, and they’ve shared that these experiences diverged significantly from their banking backgrounds. Engaging in discussions on what these roles entail and the skills needed was eye-opening. What unconventional paths have you considered?
