JPM does not model
I'm sure I'm overthinking this but does that matter for exits at all? I'm pushing for a technical group obviously and the experience at Levfin vs FSG varies so much from bank to bank. Same with coverage groups.
From what I’ve read previously:
LF holds pen: BofA, DB, UBS (Barc too?)
Template: Citi, JPM, GS, Citi, MS, WF
Pretty sure WF holds pen on corporate acquisitions, for LBOs they obviously only structure the capital stuck
thought WF FSG only does simple cash flow modeling for LBOs. If I want to keep my options open (buyside & potential boomerang back to banking), what group would be most ideal? Note if I exited to DL and came back to banking I would want to be in FSG
