Does anyone know what the general/organic career progression is for an investment manager research analyst?

What kind of firm? Generally, people just stay in the field and get more coverage areas or ones with a bigger impact. It does vary somewhat depending on where you are doing it. The skill set is not very transferable to many other types of jobs.

also interested in the original question. would HF analyst be an easy exit option for IM researchers? seems like the work should be similar. but other than that is a MBA the only way to transition out of the profession if you are not into the volatility of the public market?

Are you at a WM firm?

No, its not a WM firm.
