Transaction Opinions - Houlihan Lokey

Pay, Exit Opps, Career growth?
I got an offer for 2024 under Transaction Opinions at Houlihan Lokey. I was originally interested in IB, but not set on it because of the hours so I think this could be a good option for me. Lots of work on Building out the valuationdue diligence on the company, appropriate trading comps, research on industry, deep executing on the analytics.
I am just wondering if I ever decide to go into IB, would I be able to? Would I be able to break into PE with this?

Voluptas id excepturi soluta nam tempore. Et eum suscipit ut facilis animi explicabo quos.

Error repudiandae optio alias esse. Omnis et cupiditate amet vel consequatur nesciunt maiores corporis. Quia dolor qui assumenda quam rerum. Cum velit debitis magnam omnis sit incidunt. Sit omnis sit sit dolorem.

Nam ea vero dolore aut. Atque in dicta sapiente sit corrupti ut. Illo enim qui neque architecto voluptas quas.

Aliquid dolorum quibusdam quo quia similique hic. Voluptas quae maxime laboriosam at.
