Non MF/UMM PE exit opps: Growth Equity / VC / CorpDev / LMM PE / Private Credit / PE FoF / IB A2A

Noticed that this forum places a lot of emphasis on MF/UMM PE given the high comps / prestige / b-school placements / exits / etc. though the WLB/hours are brutal. 

Wanted to understand how all of you think about the non MF/UMM PE exit opps listed in the title and compare them in terms of comps / exits / other considerations (not interested in HFs). My understanding is that they all generally have lower comps, less exit opps, and better WLB in comparison to MF PE, but how do they compare to each other? 

For instance, how does top-tier growth equity compare to top-tier private credit in terms of comps/hours? Which one has a better career progression and more favorable exit opps?

How would you compare an associate role at a growth/VC firm with ~$2bn latest fund size (like Spectrum/JMI) Vs. a role at a LMM PE firm (buyout) with closer to say, $1bn in latest fund size? Particularly with regards to exit opps and comps.

Would you rather exit straight into CorpDev at a F100 company, or exit into LMM PE? How about tech CorpDev vs VC/growth?

Lastly, how does staying on as a BB IB A2A compare to all of these exits? Would you rather exit into something like LMM PE or stay on as a BB IB associate?

Understand that these are a lot of questions and it could be hard to generalize without further info such as personal preferences, firm-specific reputation, fund size, etc. Would like to hear some high level thoughts/opinions and how each of you would decide between those potential options.
