I'm actually more interested in capital markets and DCM than M&A. But if I wanted M&A I would just explain my interest in corporate finance and how the evolution of companies interests me, and how advising on large deals that change the corporate landscape is exciting, etc. just go on and on. Plenty of differences such as product specialty (debt/equity) vs. specialty based on industries and being closer to corporate advising.

 

I would also add that within M&A you get a more broad picture of a deal having done the advisory work. You also can see the financing of a deal (although less indepth than in DCM/ECM)

 

Maybe because when an economy turns south, companies don't really go public.

But when the economy goes south, companies merge. When the economy recovers, companies acquire.

Maybe.
