Private Equity - Growth vs Buyout next 5-10 years

Will recent stock market volatility benefit PE fundraising?
Stocks have been pretty volatile the last few weeks with a lot of big tech names -10% to 20% during that time especially with higher rates.

How to think about PE fund prestige and future career options?
Out of undergrad, it was pretty clear for consulting that getting into MBB would lead to significant career advantages down the line.

As we all probably know by now, Kim Kardashian is a founder of her own Venture Capital/private equity firm.
