Internal M&A in PE

I'm considering taking a role in corp dev/ internal m&a at a privates manager - it might be my best opportunity I have right now in terms of name brand, but I don't particularly enjoy doing FIG work. How do these kinds of roles stack up vs a more traditional UMM PE in terms of exit opps?
