Citigroup Leveraged Finance/HY (Capital Markets)

I have done quite a bit of research on Citi's NY Leveraged Finance/HY group that is situated within the Capital Markets Division. I know that a number of members on WSO have their reservations since its not situated within IBD (thus it is not modeling intensive).

However, from talking to a former analysts that was situated in LevFin - London, her experience had decent modeling through structuring alternative credit scenarios (i guess that is limited in the eyes of many). She also stated that many moved into IBD coverage groups. Additionally, PE/HFs consistently picked off employees from her group.

Was wondering if this was the case for others in Leveraged/HY groups that are situated in Capital Markets divisions and not in IBD? Also, would love to hear about other tasks that may have been performed at Citi from an analyst/associate perspective that aren't highlighted on many of the wallstreep prep websites.

Yeah, basically comparable pay, and similar hours as well. Strangely for lev fin groups, they don't do much modeling--IBD does most of their modeling for them.
