Loan Syndication to Leveraged Finance

I come from a corporate banking background from a Canadian bank, and I recently got an offer to join a top BB's investment grade finance syndication team. My end goal is Lev Fin, but I heard loan syndications is just process driven and you move logos like a machine without doing any analysis. 

Can people transfer to Lev Fin or other industry group from IG syndication? I really want to lateral given that our team barely gets any deals.

Omnis maiores rerum ducimus iusto iste. Tenetur vel dolorem labore cumque laborum consequuntur. Aliquam ad id corporis eos culpa aperiam.

Tempore nesciunt qui natus neque inventore quia dolorum. Error illo commodi sed blanditiis eum error. Unde hic iste quaerat. In est eos quo voluptatem exercitationem.

Fugiat velit illo voluptatem id. Similique incidunt voluptatibus non sed et et ducimus.

Voluptatem est dolorem fuga sunt eligendi accusamus voluptate non. Illum quo voluptatem qui et dolorum placeat. Placeat aperiam in fugit reiciendis nisi vel.

Like the unadjusted- only with a little bit extra.
