Corp/Startup out of PE Analyst/Associate?

I was wondering if corporate/startup/strategy roles are a viable option out of PE Analyst programs? Is this a switch that needs to be made after business school if going to a PE Analyst program? 

The analyst programs I'm talking about are the non-sourcing, legit, programs like BX, Bain Capital, KKR, Ares PE, etc.
