Switching Industries In Corporate Development

Is it a fairly common exit to switch industries within corporate development when progressing through the ranks?

I am curious as I evaluate an offer for a Senior Analyst role where I am not 100% confident of the potential growth opportunities within the firm or local opportunities in the industry.

After a few years (4-6) is it common to take a manager/director level position in corporate development in a different industry?

Hypothetically, say from manufacturing to healthcare.

Thanks - appreciate the thoughts here.
