Ever heard of such a group?
Would the "Asset Backed Securities" group of an IBD be a worthwhile internship experience? Assuming the goal of IBD -> PE -> Greatness, of course. Seriously though, not very familiar with such a group and would appreciate some insight.

Sound any good? Front office or not? Leverageable to a more traditional IBD offer for full-time (at same bank or other)? Any insight into what I'd actually be doing would be much appreciated.
Would you pick this group or Equity Capital Markets?
Thanks in advance.
I'd take ECM. Too much volatility in ABS/MBS. Your full time offers could blow up if this economy turns for the worse once again. ECM provides better leverage against an economic downturn. In terms of experience, I would say they are both comparable.
Any other input?
Asset Backed Securities=The people who caused the financial crisis
ECM will be better if you want to do IBD
^Agree.
any real ibd group better than ecm but ecm is prob better than this group. no idea what abs is but its definitatly not a ibd group. ibd groups are like M&a and tmt and stuff.
Ok sounds like ECM is better, but could someone who isn't a Prospective Monkey confirm?
The downside of ABS is the work will be very specialized and probably not so applicable to traditional IB. But there are many transaction participants when it comes to ABS/MBS, so like the job description indicates, you'll most likely get a chance to work with different professions.
was this job description written and posted in 2006?
Just so you're clear, given the prior comments, ECM will not give you private equity exit opportunities. I'm not arguing against it overall, but, given your stated goal of PE, it will put you at the bottom of the pile of bankers' resumes. During associate interviews, we actually ding anybody that says they want to be in ECM because it is known as being very light on hours and a non-transferable skill set. Realistically, you can't expect incoming analysts to know this, so we don't view it as harshly as a potential associate that should know, but I just wanted to give you a heads up on how it is viewed.
ABS/MBS would play well into a credit role at a hedge fund or a related trading desk, but, to be perfectly honest, I don't feel qualified to give you much more info than that. I don't want to be misleading.
Thanks for the insight -- my question is more, how well will ECM internship experience set me up for success in full-time recruiting for M&A/LevFin/Coverage groups (as I know those are best for PE)? vs. ABS/MBS? vs. a group I described in this post: //www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/corp-fin-risk-solutions ? Thanks
Also, when you say "we", do you work in banking or PE?
