Middle Market Compensation

I've been studying for private equity interviews for a few months and feel ready for interviews, but had a question about compensation. Just began analyst program at a BB IB, over the next 5-6 years, would my compensation at a MM or LMM PE fund be worth making the switch from IB? Have come to realize that the megafunds and UMM funds would definetely be worth it, but haven't heard much about the MM and LMM.
