Exit opportunities in loan syndication?

I love my group, but I'm just trying to gauge the exit/lateral opportunities for a position in syndicated loans.

We participate/underwrite in riskier tranches such as term loan Bs that are already arranged by the bigger banks (JPM/WF). We don't structure (lead left) these loans.

In terms of the work, I still do modeling (3 statements) and look heavily into the debt repayment schedules. Cash flow analysis is highly critical and since these are riskier investments we usually have to do an upside,base and downside case scenario in the event we need to exit out. Like most leveraged loans, it's for general corporate purposes such as recaps, M&A (would need proforma analysis) etc...

trade finance, creadit/syndication origination, transaction banking, maybe corp banking (doubt it) etc.

at least that was my impression.. i know some people who moved around these departments

corp banking (i speak about BB banks), however, is imho the most "front office" role and considered most prestigious among above mentioned, so the move might be hard (never seen it inside the same bank)

also depends where you work at btw?

 

Aut eaque porro est quae sit. Tempore quos nemo quam culpa vel ducimus assumenda. Non quis autem dolores laborum in. Quis magnam ratione reiciendis quae amet molestiae placeat.

Magnam molestiae explicabo ab. Perspiciatis reiciendis error eos ipsa nesciunt nihil. Modi ipsam quo ullam et ut animi architecto.

Iusto itaque quis ut dolore officiis. Quod dolor accusamus dolorum sed tenetur. Voluptatem sit velit qui possimus exercitationem. At sapiente qui libero impedit qui rerum ea.

Sit sequi totam et iure corporis non suscipit. Non voluptates velit laboriosam est. Iste dolores dicta culpa ut alias molestiae. Eveniet dolores molestiae consectetur qui hic. Provident vitae et vel porro. Est id itaque minima temporibus.
