Honest opinions on Lev Fin

Ik some think of it as the ugly affair child of RX/IG dcm but any thoughts on staying career in levfin vs M&A/cov?

2 quick Qs if anyone had insight too is:

Would you still have all buyside opps during analyst years (assuming name brand bank or high volume team)?

Does it provide an advantage in recruiting for private credit specifically?
