Going from a top Corporate Strat / M&A team to IB?

Does anyone have any insight on this job move? Is it common? Is it even possible? This is assuming they are coming from a top team at a top company - "prestigious", if you will.

Also curious about PE, if maybe CD -> PE is more common then CD -> IB
