GS Structured Finance vs JPM IG finance vs GS Specialty Lending

Title might be misleading - I'm trying to learn about these different groups not trying to see which one is better. I recently came across two opportunities (JPM IG finance and GS Structured Finance). I did some research and while it seems like JPM IG finance is a DCM role (plain vanilla spreading comps/no underwriting), I couldn't find any updated/detailed information on what GS structured finance group does. Based on my research it seems like they do ABL? Let me know if those sound right as I am trying to understand what those groups do and to weigh my options. I'm currently at a direct lender/LevFin shop so more of a Private Credit/Cash Flow lending. While doing my research I found some info on GS Specialty Lending, and it sounds like the DL arm at GS MBD. Does anyone have any information on what type of candidates they hire? Sounds like an interesting role given my background. Appreciate any comments
