Exits After 1 Year of IB

Seen a few people leave last fall for the buy side after 1 year and some change as an IB analyst. Wondering how common this is both during Covid and in normal times? What are potential exit opps for IB analysts with just 1 year of experience? Thanks in advance for any input
