Urgent input (IB CM VS RE PE)

How are the exit opportunities doing Capital Markets at Moelis? I have an offer for Real Estate Equity at Ares in the Atlanta office for next summer. I heard exit opps aren't too strong with Capital Markets. As someone that wants to pursue a career in PE in the long run, what do y'all think?
