Capital markets, anyone?

There are a lot of discussion about IBD here -- anyone thought about capital markets? Compare to IBD, capital markets have 1) more stable hours 2) similar pay (10k lower?). But it seems that capital markets positions aren't as popular as IBD -- exit opp. not as good? What do capital markets analysts do after two years? will appreciate your input, thanx.

I thought most capital

I thought most capital markets people are there to stay....and in some cases, capital markets IS IBD. Not in the traditional M&A industry connections sense, but hey, somebody's gotta specialize in the actual PRODUCTS that the ibank offers.

i agree. equity and debt

i agree. equity and debt capital markets are part of the IBD...though at times i've seen some banks have separate corp. fin. and IB divisions. Either ways, capital market analysts form a part of the product group...or so to say providers of "the market solution" that the IBs offer.
