LMM Corp Dev at portco

Currently a little over a year and a half at a B4 doing fdd. I have been grateful for my experiences but know I'll be looking for different paths within my first year as a senior. I have an offer to join a business services PE portco as an analyst on their corporate development team. I will be leaning to join corporate development in a year or two, but I don't want to make any impulse decisions this early in my career. Especially, a LMM portco, I am a bit hesitant to pursue even though the role is very interesting and the team is primarily former FDD folks.
