Go to M&A even though they aren’t the best?

Im considering lateraling for full-time within my bank. I want an option that opens up the most doors for exit opportunities, specifically private credit. Even though the bank Im at right now is not that great in M&A, is that still a good option versus other coverage groups? The bank rhymes with Wells Fargo.
