How much does bank name matter for PE/HF recruiting?

Seems like this forum constantly stresses exit opps from different banks. Was wondering why certain banks have better exit opportunities than others given that all the work done is relatively similar. Does this forum over hype the idea that exit opps come from the bank rather than the person or is it somewhat true?
