Transition from Strategy & CDD consulting to IB

Looking for advice

For someone who has worked in strategy & CDD arm of top big 4 firm and coming from a target bschool in the country. What are the feasible exit ops and can IB be one of them? Given the candidate is also working towards CFA.

What is the most realisable exit ops from those commonly known like IB,PE, VC or step up in MBB or niche consulting firms.

Thank you for your help.
