WHY IBD THAN ASSET MANAGEMENT? (or Why Asset Management than IBD?)

Very Simple, Straightforward question.

What should one say when asked

"Why do you want to do IBD than Asset Management?"

I could definitely draw some good lines between IBD and S&T (both-ways)

but this combination seems bit tricky.

I would say that I want to be in the deal-oriented environment of IBD and that advising companies on strategic and financial issues (M&A, Capital Raises) interests me more than managing their investments.

 
cheese86I think your first priority should be working on your English.

Right to the point, I like it. I can't even imagine what OP's resume looks like.

Definitely going to want to work on that...
