What is the general consensus on this board on the new roles popping up at banks under the shareholder activism groups? Are these groups less desirable than "regular" IB groups? If so, why?

Shareholder activism does no modelling / execution. No exit ops
No exit opps? Seems like an exaggeration. Also, isn't there more to learn than modelling and execution which don't even seem to make up a larget part of analyst time anyways
Of course there's more to learn than just modelling, but odds are you also won't be putting together an offering memorandum, negotiating a purchase or going through due diligence. It could be an interesting role but the skill set just isn't as transferable.
I have experience working in an M&A group that does shareholder activism defense in house and working on those projects are thought of as less glamourous and at the junior level more focused just making plug and play slide decks that don't require much thought at all.
Don't have experience working in a dedicated shareholder activism group but I would bet the work is similar. Interesting in theory - probs less so in execution.
