MM M&A Exit Opportunity

I have recently been offered a graduate position at one of the big four firms for 'Financial Advisory - M&A' where I will have completed the ACA after my first year. From what I gather it is MM M&A and I wanted to understand the kind of exit opportunities that this job could bring, whether it be 3, 5, or 10 years down the line (e.g PE/Hedgefund etc). Any help and guidance is greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your response. Do you think PE is limited to BB firms or are jobs still accessible coming from a MM background?
