So....you're at Jefferies?

Somehow I knew that would be the first comment. No, I did myself a favor and left my bank off of the short list of 3 that are there.

Then why put such an inconsistent list up; "hi guys, what are the exit ops from the likes of BX, GS and RBS?"

... more importantly, neither Lazard nor Evercore have LevFin practices ...

"For all the tribulations in our lives, for all the troubles that remain in the world, the decline of violence is an accomplishment we can savor, and an impetus to cherish the forces of civilization and enlightenment that made it possible."
 

Serious but frustrated answer coming up: your exit ops are what you make of them. Stop looking for a path, ask yourself what skills you have and where you could apply them. Would large PE shop like MM Lev Fin skills? Unlikely. Would a direct lending fund like MM Lev Fin skills? More likely. A CLO? Possible. Then what you do, is network. And magically, you have made your own exit op. Mental isn't it?
