Joining an overstaffed fund at the VP level

I know that this is completely case-by-case but wanted to get folks thoughts on this situation. I'm looking at a lateral opportunity (as either a Sr. Associate or VP -- TBD) to a middle market fund with around $3Bn AUM. It seems like a solid group with a lot of momentum (they were talking about raising their next and largest fund in the next 18 months) but they seem to be very built out at the mid/senior level and I'm not sure what that means from a career progression standpoint. They currently have 5ish partners, 5 MDs, and 6 VPs which seems like a lot for a fund of this size sp I'm not sure how much runway is left at this point. They obviously have a need since they're looking to bring someone on, but anyone have thoughts on how to evaluate the position from a career standpoint?
