M&A - Healthcare

Questions for the veteran guys and gals here - does working at a MM IB (50-300M EV) that focuses M&A advisory to privately-held companies pigeon-hole you in any terms?

In other words, does lack of public sector experience disqualify you from lateraling to a BB or EB further down the road? I assume it might help with MM PE but only a guess.
