Portfolio management role exit opportunities?

Hi, I recently had the chance to work at a big pension fund as portfolio analyst (focus on external portfolio mostly hedge fund/ mutual fund selection and monitoring etc). I really like the job but just wondering what are the usual exit opportunities there? In general, will there be chance to move to secondary investment or asset management/ IB roles as I think there are some transferrable skills

Any insights will be truly appreciated!!
