PE Analyst Exit Opportunities

I have recently accepted a PE analyst offer with a firm that has 1 bn AUM. They have closed 10+ deals in the past year and my work will consist of reviewing CIMs, mainly working on CF models and writing up investment memos. I am coming from TAS and my dream is to work in PE but this position is supposed to last 2 years then I will be either up for promotion (so they say) or I have to find a job elsewhere. What are my potential exit opportunities? Ideally I would like to get into a MM Fund as an associate after this role or even get into corp dev.  Any advice would be appreciated!
