Why aren't more people interested in capital markets and corporate banking
Comp is comparable to IB in absolute terms, and probably higher in hourly terms especially at the junior level. Am I missing something?

This. You pretty much can't do anything with ECM or DCM outside of those roles at a bank. Maybe you can make the jump to IR if you're an attractive woman from ECM. DCM probably can get into in-house treasury type roles, but you're fighting levfin folks for private credit roles. You can make DCM sound like levfin to a regular person in corporate so perhaps it's slightly more marketable in that regard. ECM and DCM are making the same comp as coverage + M&A + levfin analysts at any strong MM/BB though. Corporate banking comp is WIDELY variable based on the bank.
