How to spin ECM experience for M&A etc?
Finishing up an internship at a small boutique bank that just does ECM work, how should I spin this experience to try to get a M&A role? Any keywords/phrases I can use on my resume?

Some ECM-focused banks pitch their clients "dual track" projects (simultaneously preparing for an IPO and M&A sale). You can say that that's how you got interested in M&A or that you helped prepare materials for this process.
