1st Yr Illiquid Valuation Analyst to Investment Banking?

Was wondering what you guys thought about the pivot from Illiquid Portfolio Valuation for the Growth Equity/VC fund of one of the largest HF/PEs around into an Investment Banking coverage group? Experience leveraging essentially all types of valuation methods, management calls, transaction-oriented work, and all-around analyst work.
Internship experience in the Global Markets program of a BB where I sat on the bank's private credit arm and trading floor.

Thank you guys!
