Career Change to Investment Banking Analyst - EXITS

All,

Any idea if exit ops for investment banking analysts are the same if I were to have add a different career before going into IB?

Graduated in 2012 and have been working in Equity Sales and just got an offer to join an investment bank as an generalist analyst. after my 2 year stint, will i have the same PE/HF exits as i would if i did my analyst stint right out of undergrad?

only asking bc i know the career > b schol > associate path has less exit options than the under > analyst path.

Thank you!
