DCM-Groups Explained?

Hi,

Looking to get a better understanding of the origination side of DCM
 

AFAIK, at my bank there are three teams that do orgination:

FIG

CORPORATES

GOVIES

Apart from the top two dealing with companies and the bottom one dealing with governments, is there a fundamental difference to the work? If you had to join one which would you choose and why?

Do you think these have decent exits (credit, macro, multi asset funds)?

Differences are called SSA, Corporates and Financials. 

SSA (Sovereigns) is the most boring, well known in the industry. If you like winning business go for corporates, most fun and complex. Exit is limited, close to none.

 

Why close to none? Seems a good deal if you want capital markets at a corporate or exit to a L/S or L/O that also trades Credit. Did some looking up on LinkedIn and that does seem to happen regularly
