LO after undergrad

Got an offer from a LO fund for FT. Heard that LO is the ultimate exit goal of most people in finance so are there any drawbacks of starting at a LO (what to exit to after if promotion potential is slow). Heavily considering going into PE instead

No its the ultimate exit goal for *some* people in finance. Some people wouldn't like LO cutlure. Some people don't like public markets. Etc. Have to decide if it's for you or not because most people don't tend to leave.
