Neuberger Berman Private Equity Group - Thoughts?

Neuberger Berman (formerly spun off from Lehman) seems like a very solid Asset Management firm.

Currently looking into its private equity group which does fund investing, secondaries, but also co-investing and mezzanine debt investing. Anyone have thoughts on exit opps after? Would it be very tough to lateral to direct buyout firms after? This is assuming 2 years of IBD experience prior to NB.

Is it better to stay in IBD and try hard for pure MM PE directly? Or would this be a solid gig too?

Appreciate any insights
