Do analysts have a PE expiration date?

Was curious to see if someone could answer this. If you don't do the typical 2+2 route and instead stick around as analyst and get direct promoted to associate in year 3 or 4, would headhunters/PE firms consider you for pre-MBA PE slots if you decided at that point you wanted to make a switch (assuming you've never gone through the recruiting process previously)?
