If you have an offer from one of the top BB LevFin teams I don't see why you would even consider bottom tier coverage.
Agree with lakerbanker, Lev Fin at JP for example will give you great deal exposure for PE. It’s a bit different at a bank like MS since they’re doing more capital markets than LBO models on deals.
Well both GS and MS (and Citi and BAML(?)) LevFin is under their cap markets umbrella so you won’t be doing much modeling and exits are not as strong. The answer here really depends on bank / group. JP LevFin is probably strongest but I’d consider a good Barclays/Citi/BAML coverage team over MS/GS LevFin if shooting solely for PE.
Only caveat here I would say is if you are interested in credit / distressed PE or a group like Blackstone GSO, MS LevFin places pretty well. But if you want traditional PE agreed with the above
Would you say the same thing for hf?
BAML LevFin is like JPM, unlike GS/MS
