  1. Distinctions without a difference, the key differences are within pub fin, namely how coverage is structured. Some groups do it geographically, others by product type. This matters a lot more on the day to day. If you cover general govies it is going to be a vastly different experience versus revenue bonds.

  2. Reach out to pub fin bankers and know your shit. If you can explain the difference between negotiated versus competitive underwriting and why you'd go one way or another that's enough. Know the market, know where SIFMA, MMD and LIBOR are. Read the SIFMA guide to munis.

  3. I'm an associate and I lateraled in through networking. I got lucky bank had a need and I was there. Would I change roles? Maybe, but it would have to be either to HY/DCM or to a credit fund or muni fund. I like credit what can I say?

Feel free to PM.
