Sounds like a really really slept on career path. Our ECM MD and team appear to have great WLB and don’t take on any of the worry of relationship building / maintenance. Am I missing something? Or why is this path not talked about more frequently..

One of the most appealing part of IB is that it teaches workers a ton of transferable skills like making pretty powerpoints and complex financial models that are useful in a ton of jobs and a ton of companies. After IB, you can work in at a hedge fund, a PE firm, a VC firm, or a long only mutual fund. If you want to work at a company, you can work in FP&A, Treasury, or Corp Dev, and hell you can even be a generalist at a later stage start-up. If you work in ECM, you are only learning how to work in ECM.
Did you miss the bit where the question is literally if ECM is a good path to go down for career banking, not what exits are available? Or is a circle-jerk about PE exits muscle memory to you?
