How would rotational experience across dev, debt fund, and acquisitions (REPE) be viewed?

I work at a large, national, vertically integrated shop that has strong capabilities in development, REPE, and debt. If I pursue a rotational program across these three verticals and gain exposure across the capital stack and various strategies (high yield debt, ground up development, value add and core acquisitions out of a closed end fund), how would that experience be viewed if I would like to eventually shift to a Megafund acquisitions role? Would it be better if I get pure play acquisitions experience (value add and core) at my current shop rather than pursuing such a rotational program? Assuming 6-7 month rotations in each and all across one asset class only.
