BlackRock Exits/Laterals

Hey - looks like I'll be joining BR full-time in an investments team. While I'm super thankful to have a full time offer in this environment, my heart is really set on ending up in a HF/PE down the line, so I've already thought about recruiting for IB. Was wondering if anyone had any advice on how possible it would be to lateral from BR to a top-tier IB shop in a year or two or, if I stayed at BR for 4-5 years, are exits to PE/HF possible? Genuinely curious to hear from the more experienced ppl. thx!

From my understanding Blk may be a bit newer to the direct investments space if at all. So figure there may be some work on your end to educate the headhunters and kind of carve your own trail as compared to those who are in the IB track where the roads are already kinda paved. That being said, long term if may give you some unique perspective and you may end up being able to do all the PE/Hf stuff you want at black rock. I would think they already may have some of the sharpest minds in the investments industry already associated with the firm somehow. Might be worthwhile to try to find your “exit op” inside the firm. But I may be wrong. Just trying to help
