What is the best group to be in?
What would you say is the best group to be in based on comp, deal flow, work-life, stability, exit ops, etc? Are there clear winners and losers or do they all have their merits and faults?

Very firm dependent. M&A is best for exit ops and deal flow, but other groups are highly dependent on bank
ECM/DCM are generally good for work life balance and still make street comp, but don't have the same exit ops as top M&A.
What are hours in DCM like?
I think that without a doubt Sponsor groups are the best coverage groups. They are often very small or highly selective which is why they don't get a lot of buzz. But they work with PE/HF/family offices which essentially opens the doors for the possibility if you are looking to move into buy-side. I have also heard that bonuses are rather healthy.
imo, a financial sponsors group that executes deals is the best option (i.e. MS, CS, Barclays, BAML, JPM)
1. Strong exit opps -- since you cover PE firms and get lots of LBO modeling reps, exits are on par with M&A.
2. Generalist experience-- You do all types of transactions (LBO, M&A, debt/equity) for PE firms and their portfolio companies. The group is also industry-agnostic, so you'll be able to learn about many different sectors.
3. Work-life balance-- sponsors is usually one of the most relaxed groups in terms of hours and the culture at many banks are much better (lean teams is a factor).

For exits, M&A and TMT are known to be the best groups and will give you the most flexibility in terms of options (i.e. MS M&A, MS Tech, GS TMT)
