Investment bankers go to Private Equity and Traders go to Hedge Fund ? (as Exit option)

I would like to ask a question about Hedge Fund and Private Equity.

I know that there are always exceptions.

But, is it commonly true that investment bankers generally go to Private Equity and traders generally go to Hedge Fund (as exit options) ?

I really wish to work on Hedge Fund in the future, and I have no idea which one (investment banker or trader) has more advantages to get a job on Hedge Fund.
