Would you rather be in a TMT group or M&A group? Why?

Regardless of the firm / deal flow. I know firms do make a difference though. Objectively- Do you think M&A gets repetitive and that being in a coverage group is better to learn about all the different products? Or do you think learning about different industries is better?

Thanks.

really stupid question, firms like Barclays, Goldman, most EBs don't even have an M&A group

 

How much of the work is M&A for GS TMT? Obviously, a lot of IPOs lately and more in the pipeline....but do all (middle and top bucket) analysts get looks at M&A staffings generally?
