PE Analyst Exits - Only PE/HF?

It makes sense that PE analysts may have been passionate enough to become investors out of undergrad, and thus stick around in PE or move to become HF investors. Wondering if PE analysts also recruit for roles like strategic finance roles that an IB or Consulting analyst/equivalent get access to, or if they're siloed early on / rarely go to those roles via to self selection.
