Help! MS.

I read this website alot but this is my first time posting. I am looking into a summer internship with Morgan Stanley in the GCM division. (I know, everyone shits on Global Capital Markets here but bear with me).

I have 3 questions:

  1. What desk is best and why? Options are Equity Capital Markets, Fixed Income Capital Markets, or Leveraged & Acquisition Finance.

  2. What are the exit opportunities (both in GCM and in specific desks?)

  3. Does anyone have any personal knowledge of this division?

Please feel free to pm me if you prefer.

Thanks for your help.
