Top Origination Shops & Exit Opps

Let's just say you're in the loan origination/Balance Sheet & CMBS within the REIB division at one of the major player BBs (JP, GS, DB, MS, etc).

You're working on more institutional type deals, dealing with major clients then the conduit players of the world. How do you value this kind of experience and what type of exit opps are out there? You're still underwriting, handling transactions, modeling etc. but you're doing it for $100MM+ loans.

Now its not the traditional REIB experience so I would assume you're not as marketable to the major PE shops of the world - yet, you still work at a major BB bank working on live RE deals. Are RE hedgefunds the most transitional exit? MBA and then PE? Thoughts? Has anyone worked in one of these groups and made a successful exit?
