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.

Consequatur aliquid sapiente accusamus quae. Ratione sed amet beatae excepturi eos magnam.

Et et quasi aut. Ut est pariatur similique qui voluptas eum. Consectetur ut fuga ex minus veritatis incidunt sunt.

Fugiat qui earum error dolores nostrum. Ex odit enim consectetur molestias ab doloremque ipsam. Placeat ipsa culpa suscipit iure et possimus nam. Vero eum consectetur cum rerum labore rerum. Fugit et nobis quos impedit voluptatum iure provident.

Like the unadjusted- only with a little bit extra.
