What's it like being an Associate and above in Financial Sponsors?

On this forum Financial Sponsors Groups get a lot of praise for their PE exits (for the firms that do their own modeling). Analysts will mostly benefit from this because it's hard to exit to PE past the Analyst level.

Will an Associate in a Sponsors group still develop intensive modeling experience even though Analysts usually do most of the modeling in IB?
