If I don't have banking experience, how about going in to PE with an MBA based on general management experience from the technology industry?

Capital Markets and Financing

In banking is equity capital markets, or financing group within GS and departments like that seen as, hard core corporate finance and real career as M&A advisory, or is M&A set apart from every other department in terms of status.

Also for future options like private equity, is it open to people coming from ECM?

How are the hours in ECM/Financing?

I will be 30 when I get my MBA from a top school where investemnt banks recruit a lot. So M&A will not work with my life style. I will however want to spend the rest of my life buying improving and selling companies. Any other career options or companies I should look at?
