Tough enough to get into PE from LMM IB. If you go corp dev, you’re not going to PE unless it’s corp dev for one of their portcos.
I’ve had recruiters reach out for MM PE, you mean to say if I were to interview it’d be harder to get the role compared to a BB analyst? Funny analysts at my firm take on more responsibility than slides/a few excel charts in their first yr, compared to BB
Working in CorpDev for a PE portfolio Company is a pretty good gig if you structure the comp right. I worked on a Deal where the head of corp dev was in his early thirties (had 4-5 years of MM banking experience before moving to this Company) and he got a $30m payout on the Deal. PE isn’t the end all be all if you can’t get in OP.

It must have been a $10B+ exit because no corp dev exec is getting 3+% of the equity.
Are you asking can someone go from IB —> Corp Dev —> PE? If that is your question, it’s going to be incredibly hard to make the move into PE., not impossible but it’s going to be much harder than making the move from banking.
Interesting, thanks!
