Have an offer for incoming SA27 and was wondering if anyone had insight into what the exit ops look like across groups. I'm most interested in PE/CorpDev but I think I could also do well in a Private Credit role. I understand that exits from GCM are pretty different to those of coverage, but would love any insight if anyone has any. Just want to understand what I'm getting myself into so that I'm on the best path for my goals.

ecm or dcm?
Haven't done group placement yet but I'm open minded to any of the gcm groups
At MS is LevFin part of GCM or IBD? LevFin exits are vastly superior to ECM or DCM.
It's a non-modeling Levfin group in GCM similar to GS/JPM.
Still better than ECM and DCM. You’re building a skillset including assessing capital structure and credit risk, reading and analyzing credit docs, assessing debt capacity, familiarity with refi mechanics, familiarity with pricing, execution, and syndication, working on LBO and M&A financing.
