It really depends on where you're doing this IB at. If you're at GS, then your exit ops will be extremely broad because GS FIG is a top group. If you're at KBW or Sandler, your exit ops will be a bit narrower and more FIG-focused.

PE-wise Stonepoint, GTCR, JC Flowers, Corsair, Capital Z, Aquiline, Lovell Minnick Partners, TA Associates, and General Atlantic are all PE firms that are either FIG-focused or have FIG platforms. Depending on the modeling that you've done, you can certainly move to non-FIG PE or non-FIG corp dev. I have a few friends who worked in specialty finance and moved to non-FIG corp dev.

I hope that helps. I have a bunch of buddies scattered throughout KBW, Sandler, and RJ, all in specialty finance, so I'm happy to help.
