Exiting from corporate banking?

I know exiting into PE/HF is virtually impossible from corporate banking, but I'm wondering where people usually end up after doing corporate banking? Do they just stay?

Is there a way to search on linkedin for former job titles so I can see where people actually ended up exiting to?
Would love to hear from actual corporate bankers or people who know former corporate bankers as opposed to people just theorizing.
