Blackstone Analyst Graduate vs Moving from BB M&A/ Sector Group

Hi all,

what is the difference between starting at Blackstone as an analyst fresh out of undergrad or moving to Blackstone after say 2 years at GS IBD?

If you move after 2 years are you on the same level as the analyst that just joined after college?

If not then are you an associate/ 3rd year analyst/ what are you? And what is the pay like?

Also given the opportunity of taking a GS IBD role vs Blackstone PE analyst role which one is preferrable given I want to end up in PE in the long run?

Thanks!
