LevFin or M&A

Hi guys would appreciate some help here.

I received 2 off-cycle offers from some pretty reputable banks. I received a LevFin offer for one of the banks and traditional investment banking coverage for the other bank.

Ultimately I want to exit to PE and I am pretty worried about making the wrong decision in light of that.

I hear the LevFin team is pretty good at this place and that you are not just a pitch monkey. But M&A coverage is really what I want to do. But the IBD teams are randomised and I could easily end up in a team like FIG where I hear there is no exit.

What should I pick?
