It really depends on what you want to do. I'm in a MM leveraged lender shop (think CIT, BMO type bank), and I think that Antares Capital would give you great exposure. From Antares, exit opps can easily be a mezz shop, other debt opportunities. It could also be a MM PE fund if you network well and form close relationships with sponsors while you work on deals.

Antares, Golub, CIT, other lev lenders are often exit opps for ibankers as well because of the buy-side nature of the job. You get good at credit and learn how to manage a portfolio of levered loans. It depends on if you want to do that. Feel free to PM me if you want more info.

Antares comp should be on par with Barclays if not higher (~100K all in 1st year with stub). A&M will be the lowest I think.
