Assuming your at the analyst level, it’s totally fine.

It doesn’t really drive the process there, more like it takes orders from coverage and m&a. So in an ideal world you’d do lev fin at baml or jpm or jeff, or at an active shop like golub or bx credit.

But at the end of the day, it’s goldman, so you’re question is a little silly in that you’re not going to say no to your offer, if you even have one.

 

Many questions here regarding exit oops:

While the nature of the job prepares you the best for credit funds, there are so many cases of folks going to traditional buyout shops. This is the group within financing that places the best to MF. Is it on par with something like a GS TMT? Maybe not, but it’s no slouch either

 

This question is hard to answer as there is a greater proportion of people within levfin that actively pursue credit roles instead of MFPE. It's therefore hard to gauge by just the number of people who end up going to PE from either side. The important thing to understand is that you will definitely get MF interview opps at GS levfin that will be close to, if not equal, to those received by the coverage groups
