FI trading to buyside

Which desks on the sell side make it possible to move to the buyside to a macro or FI RV HF? It seems like it’s mostly rates traders that move over to the buyside to hedge funds or prop shops, and I am wondering about where the other non rates desks exit to? For example, IG, HY, Muni, securitized products, etc, where can these traders exit to?
