What kind of exit options are there coming from underwriting M&A warranties and indemnities?

I'll be working for a Lloyd's of London Underwriter on their M&A warranties and indemnities team and am wondering what kind of exit options the position could offer.

It seems to be a pretty obscure side of finance since not many people I ask know much about it. I only learned what it was after doing some research before interviewing for the company.

Although most of my company's clients are PE firms, I think it's unlikely that I will be able to move directly to the buyside since those firms typically recruit from IB.

I've heard London PE firms tend to use recruitment agencies (Dartmouth Partners, Arkesden Partners, Greenwich Partners) and I'll reach out to them at some point to see if they'd be willing to give me any advice.

I'm coming from a non-target school and don't have a lot of experience in finance prior to this role.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
