I can't suggest a ranking, but would make the general comment that focus is important. If you're looking at MFs, then BBs will have a much better chance of breaking into PE than a smaller place, and brand value, dealflow, etc. will all factor into it.

However, if we're thinking of LMM funds or MM funds (and there are A LOT), then I'd argue that you might have a greater likelihood of exiting from the premier banks that focus on the MM or LMM. You might be better-placed at Houlihan Lokey than Goldman Sachs for moving to a LMM fund, because the skills learnt at GS doing merger models for billion dollar cross-border deals might not be relevant for a UK-focused €500m fund.

M&A is always a well-placed team for exiting, however the industry / country coverage teams, and LevFin team, are also well placed. Capital markets (ECM, DCM) or more specific groups will find it more difficult (except for very particular cases, e.g. restructuring teams moving to a turnaround fund).
