Currently a LevFin analyst at GS/MS/BAML. Want to transition to buyside (specifically Growth Equity shop). Background is heavy in debt, but familiar and proficient in modeling (practice and taught through self). Is it okay if i told headhunters I want to go this route, even though my background is debt focused?

Hi Analyst 1 in IB - DCM, no, I never sleep and so I can respond to any lonely threads (like this one) at all hours of the night. Impressive, I know ;-)
More suggestions...
Hope that helps.
"GS/MS/BAML" LOL
GS/MS/PEDRO'S CRACK HOUSE
LMAO
I went to Harvard / Princeton / Brown.
one of these is not like the others
I would say the LevFin groups are
Bump!
GS/MS LevFin is a markets desk where you spread comps and try to get the products to sell through the trading desk and BAML LevFin is a debt powerhouse, no, they're definitely not the same. Judging by the fact that you self-taught yourself modeling I assume you're at GS/MS LevFin. Your best bet is to speak to your deal experience in terms of financing and try and spin that into a story where you want to work on financing for growth equity.
Makes sense haha thanks for the input anyhow
