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?
