RX -> Standard MF PE?

I just accepted an offer with a boutique that has a really good RX practice, not entirely certain that I want to go down that route but the group is really strong and I was wondering if it is possible and or common for RX bankers to exit into MF for their standard PE investing instead of distressed credit

If you are talking a pjt, hl, lazard, evercore, moelis then it happens quite often, especially from the first 2. If you are talking a gugg, PWP, ghl, Ducera, and other "mid-tier" groups then it gets more difficult. MF ss/credit is attainable, but for traditional buyout it will be tougher and most looks will be mm/umm(maybe).
