Based on the most helpful WSO content, the exit opportunities from LevFin can vary. It seems that it might be easier to move from LevFin to private equity than from a credit fund. This is because there is a lot of "process" in PE, such as preparing the IM, management presentations, financing documents, coordinating logistics, etc. You get a better view of the deal cycle from a bank, as credit is typically quite process-lite.
On the flip side, in credit investing, you have more time to focus on actual investing and will become much better at security analysis, commercial/financial due diligence, etc.
As for moving into MF pure buyout from a LevFin team at a BB, it seems that there isn't a great deal of difference between LevFin and M&A as regards buyout placement. However, other factors such as deal experience will also be relevant.
Remember, this is just a general overview and individual experiences can vary. Hope this helps!

Depends extremely heavily on which levfin you're talking about...
Yeah to add color - currently @ JPM and will say getting way more credit looks than MF. Has to do directly with our capital markets / financing focus. Compare to BAML LF who will get far more LBO modeling reps and traditional MF looks.
From what I know, the FSG group does most of yalls modeling and sometimes coverage takes over?
What about GS / MS
It's pretty similar to the JPM situation.
