State pension fund exit opportunities

I've been fortunate to get an offer for a full time position out of undergrad at a State Pension (top 10AUM) as an Investment Analyst on the global equity team. (Equity + PE).

I'm looking to eventually work in asset management. What are typical exit opportunities for analysts at pension funds after a few years. I intend to get my CFA and I'd consider going to get an MBA.

I know I can build great relationships, but my primary concern is that I'll be limiting myself in the Limited Partnership/FoF world. I'd eventually want to make the jump to the GP/Money Manager level.

Thanks
