I know investment banking is m&a and raising capital through debt and equity markets, so how is the latter different from DCM/ECM? I've looked through this forum and there are pretty contradictory views of what activities fall under which category so itll be great if someone can clear it up for me.
thanks!

There are plenty of other businesses besides m&a. But in the context of M&A, IB finds the targets and pitch the business, negotiate what price to pay and in what form they are paid. If cash is a component, then DCM/ECM comes in play to fund the cash portion.
DCM and ECM are part of the Investment banking business, no?
