You go to GS for the exit opps (PE, VC, HF). At KKR, you secure a spot in one of those exit opps and arguably get skills (buy-side related) that helps you stand out if you somehow want to switch to VC, HF afterwards (you can also go to other industries like consulting or industry if that is what you want because MF analysts are much more rare). In other words, at KKR you pretty much get all the perks of GS, with respect with exits, with some more (secured MF opportunity, which can get pretty dicey with FT buyside recruiting these days).
