I think you’re thinking about it the right way. It’s much easier to go from direct to secondaries / FoF but not the other way around. So really comes down to your long term goals. Personally, I think secondaries is a very exciting place to be in. But others may have different thoughts. 
 

 Curious, any idea what comp packages look like at each role?
