BB DCM vs. MUFG CLO

I have an offer fromDCM(IG loan) at aBB, andIBCLO at MUFG. I don't know what I want to be doing after my analyst stint, but was wondering which would set me up for a good long-term career.

I know inDCM, you don't do modeling whereas in CLO, I think you get decent amount of exposure to it. However given thatDCMspot is from a bigbalance sheetBB, I was wondering what your thoughts are! Thanks!

In both cases you could try moving tolevfin; the CLO team might give you the chance to recruit for CLO arms of buyside shops but you're probably better off with alevfinstint before (for other options)

Then would beingat aBBbe easier to move to LevFin?

You'll get tons of modeling experience on a structuring desk for CLO. Just different kind of modeling. Structured credit is a sweet niche in finance that I think goes overlooked. Buyside seats are gold

Would you then recommend MUFG in this case, despite being slightly lesser of a brand value compared to a BB?

How are buysideseats gold? Hear a lot of mixed reviews on structured finance buyside seats… unless you're a deep credit guy, which is not exposure you'd really get on a structuring desk, you're likely handling just the bond math side of things. So taking a high-level view of rel val, the broader market, dialing assumptions on prepayment / reinvestment success / defaults / etc.

From what I hear the credit guys make bank, the pure play CLO guys do okay but certainly not gang busters (a good pure CLO guy topping out at 450k).

Just my impression though, would love to hear your side

I'm on aABSdeskand just keep in mind that "modelling" on a structuring desk is different to modelling on a High Yield or Lev Loan desk for example, just keep that in mind. Congrats on the offers anyways.

Oh okay thanks for your insight. So you're saying it's different from the typicalfinancial modeling skillsetthat is carried out in coverage/M&A/Levfinteams right? Would you mind sharing some light on the differences between modeling done in CLO/ABSspace vs. IB?

You basically predict asset cashflows and try and structure liabilities to price tight as possible (spread or coupon if fixed v floating). Subject to the market andrating agencyanalysis. Basically lever as much as you can (talking more so for CLO) and make sure it passes rating agencies.

Thanks for your response, appreciate it. Could you explain why I would chooseBBDCMif Iwere to do something non-finance? I think many people on this thread have said thatDCMis rather a pigeonhole.. ):
