Comp is actually pretty good. Internal valuation managers at good funds make like $160-$200K and have pretty decent work/life balance. Sadly, there aren't really too many other exit ops. The only real exit is to valuation in financial advisory services practices (Big 4, Duff, Houlihan, etc) and maybe corp dev.
