Product Group at Global Bank vs. Industry Coverage at Well-Known Boutique for PE?

Hello Brahs,

For PE exit opps, would you say that it is more beneficial to be a part of a product group like LevFin @ (think - MUFG, Mizuho, BNPP) or in industry coverage for specialization (think - Leerink, FT Partners). Just wanted to gauge some perspectives as I'm in the first round - superday stages for some of these banks. Hoping for the best experience possible, but at the same time, not too picky given how much I want this recruitment process to be over.

Thanks.

Or even, which of these roles would be a better experience for lateral? I have no strict preference of group.

I am the real boss baby.
