K1 Investment Management Exit Opps

Would love to get any insight on how well the exit opps are for K1 junior private equity analysts lateraling or exiting to bigger PE shops in terms of which firms specifically and the location as in LA/SF/NY? Do you guys think your exit opps would be better if your goal is software PE starting from undergrad at K1 in their PE execution role (not diligence) or at a lower-end BB firm in IB think (UBS/DB/CS). Any thoughts would be really appreciated!
