I just accepted an internship in DCM in a Canadian Big Five and I wanted to know what's the overall opinion on DCM. From what I read on this page, a lot of people hate ECM because there isn't much work/movement. Will DCM be the same? If so, then what are usually the most interesting divisions in IB? Between M&A, Lev Fin, coverage, etc.?

Would love to hear about DCM and ECM exits
TMT M&A/ECM is very interesting if in a good group.
Most prestigious group is GS TMT
Back office
M&A or bust.
Okay, maybe not. DCM is also pretty cool and the work you will be doing should be equally challenging from an intellectual standpoint.
