Debt vs CF vs M&A

Good day fellows,

Just did a 6 months DCM internship at an MM bank this spring. The team was not solely focused on bonds, but everything debt related (not quite the common structure you find at every bank from what I have heard).

I really enjoyed my time there, but I still am curious of corporate finance and M&A and would love to hear your pros and cons of the different areas.

Cheers
