PE Placement Job - Advice

Hi guys

I've just been invited for an assessment centre for a boutique independent PE Placement & Advisory Agent. The firm itself seems pretty awesome. They win blue-chip Private Equity and Private Credit Clients which for a company that's less than 15 years old is pretty impressive.

Unlike typical placement agent firms, employees have a broad role across project management, origination and distribution. In areas of primary, secondary and direct transactions. So it seems like you're a generalist across the whole field of the private placement, rather than specialising like most firms let you do. 

I was initially very interested in M&A and I'm very aware that this is completely different but I've been sh*t out of luck this year when it comes to jobs and I'm looking to take the first thing I can get. (Despite being different the firm mentions that they do some co-investing and M&A within their private capital strategies? Though IDK what this entails) 

I want to know if this is something worth taking? I'm happy to progress and sit in the role for the first couple years but I have no idea what to expect out of exits? I was assuming that it's a role that's going to require B-school if I want to go into anything else like M&A, or actual PE.
I would hate to stick myself into something where the only opps out are to other PAs or IR jobs in funds. I'm not a marketing person and the only reason why I'm keen on this job because it seems to be very different from other junior roles in PA. 

Would love to know some thoughts and opinions!
