Very difficult into M&A / Rx groups. Main reason is because everyone is trying to lateral in from ECM

Depending on the group you could eke out a career in capital markets making a ton of money with chiller hours than EB coverage. Pure advisory shop cap markets can also be more interesting because you skip most of the boring repetitive shit.

Not saying don’t gun for coverage, just saying don’t totally write off EB cap markets. 

 

Just a guess. But less coordination with syndicate/risk/etc. and more “go raise XYZ at this price”

 

Anyone have thoughts on switching from a non-M&A group to an M&A one? Genuinely seen it happen before but unsure about the process
