Exit Opps from VC associate? (Cleantech)

Hello WSO,

Would be grateful for your thoughts (I’ve reviewed the forum to ensure this Q hasn’t been answered prior):

What exit opportunities typically exist after serving in a VC associate role (e.g LA, ~1-2B AUM)?

Other than moving to another fund, that is. For example, I don’t see evidence that junior VCs move to MBB. But perhaps this is possible?

Thoughts appreciated as I navigate my career.
