Infrastructure Funds exit opportunities

I am curious to know what the exit opportunities are for junior level staff i.e. analyst/associate level at infrastructure funds of PE shops or other infra funds not necessarily set up by PE firms.

It seems that with the lack of access to cheap debt and overall worsening of financial markets, infrastructure funds are opening by the day. However, where would one go after a few years of working at an infra fund?

If you are at a PE fund doing LBOs, I imagine you could move into corporate strategy, business development or eventually be in a position to run companies in the sector(s) that your firm specializes in however infrastructure is such a specialized niche, can you only do infrastructure for the rest of your life?

How difficult would it be to move to another area of a PE fund once the current infra boom abates or what else can you do apart from infrastructure?
