Valuation roles: Independent vs In-house PE

Hi guys, not sure if this is the correct forum to post in but thought you guys would be able to help. I was wondering how the comp, hours, career path, exits compare between independent valuation firms (HL, D&P, etc.) and in-house PE valuations (Blackstone, Apollo, etc.). Thanks for the help.
