Do Coverage Group and Location Matter Post-MBA?

Unfortunately, I was recently laid off and am doing some soul-searching regarding my next role. My question is how much do industry group and location matter in terms of post-mba associate exit ops? If I plan to join corporate at some point, would I limit my options by moving to the south and joining a MM in a new industry group? Are corporate exits usually limited to your industry coverage?
