Top Banks for Leveraged Finance?

Hey monkeys

I’m looking to lateral into Leveraged Finance. What are some of the top banks for Levfin?

I would imagine it is those with larger balance sheets, yet Goldman has a Levfin team too.

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks!

With regards to exit ops:

BAML has the best levfin group and maybe the only one that actually lives up to the “Levfin is the juggernaut group for PE recruiting” hype.

Behind that would be CS.

With regards to good job with better work life balance and solid deal flow:

Limited knowledge of the group. Believe they are fairly active but can’t speak to group culture or exit ops (beyond my own anecdotal experience of never having met / come across a PE associate who was an analyst in that group).

Having said all of that, I think RBC overall is a pretty underrated bank on this forum and is def viewed more favorably by recruiters and buyside shops than it gets credit for.
