HF opportunities from MM PE?

Hi all - for an analyst starting in MM PE out of undergrad, what kind of HF opportunities exist after the analyst stint? I understand the tiger cubs and top SM funds with one or two spots will go after your Blackstone or KKR analysts, but how does an average PE analyst stack up against an IB analyst when it comes to other hedge funds?
