VC/PE MBA Summer Associate Exit Opps

I'm an MBA student at a top 20 school just finishing up my first year. I was initially recruiting for IB, but wasn't able to secure an offer. Then the market tanked and a lot of companies (across all industries) stopped interviewing for summer internships. I managed to get a last minute internship at a VC/PE firm that does MM deals. Does VC/PE provide good exit opps, especially when I'm recruiting for full-time offers in the fall?
