Can anyone shed some light on what ECM is really like? The people I've networked with say they are done by 4 pm a couple of times a week. Considering IB hours are brutal and ECM has the same base, ECM looks really good in my eyes. How much lower are bonuses in ECM? Where do people in ECM typically exit to? Obviously no modeling so PE and HF aren't really options.
Thanks
