Jap Bank —> Buyside?

Currently an IBD analyst at a Japanese bank (Nomura/Mizuho) interested in private equity or private credit exits in the future. How does Nomura/Mizuho place into these buyside roles? Is MF or UMM Private credit/equity possible?

Smaller MM and LMM PE seats possible, maybe can get something to around 4bn fund size if you are truly exceptional. Different for something like Infrastracture where some groups at Nomura are more competitive for possible UMM outcomes. Greentech is the firm's best group but seemingly every analyst laterals or burns out, so hard to get a true idea of exits there these days.
