Looking for some input on differences on a career in PCM vs ECM?
Would private capital markets put me in a better position to work for a VC or growth equity down the line?

ECM wouldn’t in a million years put you in a good position if you want to interview for VC roles
Also I wonder if best people in VCs come with engineering / tech / pharma backgrounds
Agreed, but isn’t private capital markets still ecm, just earlier stage? Any thoughts on this group?
