Exiting restructuring

Just finished an RX internship and will be going back full time. I recall reading in one of the RX guides that it is fairly common for people who start as analysts to exit to distressed investing after making associate or even VP. I’m not sure if I want to stay in IB long term or move to investing, so is that sentiment true? Are RX exits really more flexible on timeline in that way? In contrast I know how it’s harder to exit from M&A to PE after on-cycle analyst years recruiting.
