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
ok chill intern. OP is clearly referring to those that have separate M&A group (JPM, MS, CS, UBS, etc). There're definitely merits in asking to choose between a product and coverage group.
Unless you're talking about a elite boutique, it's almost always better to be apart of a top industry vertical group.
There are exceptions to the rule, but its so rare its not even worth considering
would you mind elaborating more on why being in a top industry group is better? thanks
Why not both? Elite Boutique coverage group or GS TMT (does M&A)
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?
Many of the TMT groups model their m&a in house, so you'd still get modeling experience without being in the designated m&a group
M&a unless you wanna spread click and subscriber comps
I'm personally more interested in learning about technology companies and their products as opposed to specializing in one product, so I chose to work in a TMT group that does M&A in-house. That being said, I think I'd rather work in an M&A product group if the TMT group at my bank didn't do M&A in-house
