IB experience going into buyside recruiting

What is considered good IB experience going into VC recruiting? I’m about 1.5 years into a MM banking stint and I’ve closed 4 deals (3 full process sell-sides, 1 debt raise). 1 of those deals was the largest transaction (and fee) my group has ever closed (sole analyst), and 2 were lean deal teams (no associate, sole analyst). I get that most people typically try to do 2 full years, but feel as if I’ve gotten really good experience so far. Is it worth it to just stick it out for the next half year?
