I'm looking to connect with anyone who works in this group, whether in BB or EB. There's a lack of information available about it. I understand that in some banks, they operate as a distinct function within ECM, but I want to hear insights from those with direct experience. Additionally, I’m interested in knowing if the interview process leans more toward investment banking or sales and trading
Thank you!

PCM typically focuses on raising private capital for companies, often working with private equity firms, venture capitalists, and institutional investors. The group may handle private placements, pre-IPO funding, or other bespoke financing solutions.

Preparation Tips:
