Jain and Exodus vs Big4

I am London based and was wondering how this 2 compare to the Big4 (culture, organization, com). Are they really a notch below the Big4(aware they are younger too)? And would it be a viable path for one to exit from IB in their fund instead of Big4
(Disclaimer, I am fully aware that it is still very competitive and you probably don’t get to choose between several funds when exiting)
