IB be ER to HF (IB Preftige myth?)

WSO seems to have conflicting views on this, but wouldn’t ER have better exit opps to the buy side than IB due to relevance of work and contacts? Is IB truly the best for moving to the buy side, or is this a preftige myth? Also, there are some old conflicting threads on this, is there a consensus in 2020?

does this typically apply to all fund or mostly at larger tiger type funds?

 

Also, what it the er experience is buy side like Fidelity or somewhere comparable?
