Energy IB to Generalist PC?
I’m currently in an Energy group at a MM bank with a balance sheet and trying to understand exit opportunities. The group is fairly LevFin-heavy (~10 lead-left deals per year), with some M&A (~3 buy-side / ~2 sell-side) and a decent amount of debt/equity bookrunning.
I’m mainly wondering how this background is viewed for exits—specifically whether it translates well to generalist private credit or tends to funnel people into energy-focused roles. Also curious how realistic it is to recruit for larger generalist PC platforms versus being seen as too sector-specific.
On the PE side, I’m trying to gauge how much optionality there is outside of energy/infra given the LevFin tilt, and how important M&A experience is in that context.
Would appreciate any insight from people who’ve seen similar paths.
