Debt Syndicate vs DCM

Hey everyone,

I am due to join a BB in a couple of months and was wondering if anyone could provide some insight into how DCM and an Investment Grade and Leveraged Finance syndicate would differ in terms of exits and the work etc

I generally understand the differences in their roles, but was hoping anyone (especially in the debt space) could help me out.

Apologies if this is a stupid question, I couldn't find much about syndicate groups.

Thanks a lot!
