summer in m&a and im hating it, ecm looks cool, how do i sell the story?
im doing a summer in m&a and im not enjoying it. we had a call with ecm and the works seems more interesting. but how do i sell it if i was given an interview? thanks
I think you just did.
ECM guys will LOVE that you think they're more interesting than M&A. I doubt you'll have any problems selling them on that, you'll just have to prove that you weren't exiled from your M&A team for being bad.
Why didn’t you like M&A?
Constantly modelling is so fucking boring (even though I don’t model as an intern) and the fact that I’m at work at 3am
I enjoy the clients, the strategic intuition and the work is piss easy
As someone who likes to model, I'd say that modeling is an important skill to have. It certainly doesn't hurt you to know how to produce a good but not perfect (no need for a super complex one) LBO or M&A model.
On the other hand, I used to have a job where I look at models all day and don't think about business activities or strategic elements for over 15 minutes. I have to admit I was bored. Fucking, bored.
Find something you don't like about M&A and gets solved in ECM. That's your story, e.g. you like following the day to day movements of the market and that's just not going to be a significant part of your job in M&A.
Do they do much modelling in ECM?
I honestly just enjoy following markets much more and working on an IPO seems way more interesting
I’m interning at JPM/GS rn but ideally wanna go MS coz my best mate is there. Is there anything special about MS ECM?
It's very very white. Everyone's name should be Seth
