Currently have an offer for summer analyst at the corporate valuation advisory services group at HL. Of course, my goal is to go to the buy side after a couple of years, whether that is VC or PE. Would my skills earned at this group be considered equally valuable if I'm to stay here before I jump to the other side as opposed to regular corporate finance or M&A groups?

There are a lot of people, myself included, who have lateraled from valuation over to the sell-side given the transferable skillset, but the ability to go to buy-side from that background may be different.
