If you're looking for stability and consistency, I would advise either industrials or healthcare.
Industrials
- Ton of M&A activity as there are a lot of subverticals that have fragmented market shares
- Will always have debt/LBO activity as since industrials companies have a lot of hard/tangible assets, they can be collateralized
Healtcare
- Also a ton of M&A activity as there are a lot of subverticals that have fragmented market shares, but additionally new subverticals that are being developed in conjunction with tech. A lot of growth to come from the intersection of tech and bio/pharma and as a result, these companies will need financing and M&A advisory.
Going against the grain on this, but choose a sector that genuinely interests you. If you are at the top of your game ANY sector can allow you to generate > $2MM in IB. Sure, some may pay the biggest rainmakers $10M+ but the odds of getting there are so low that you should pick a sector that you will be interested in.
Probably tech at the moment but that is a really terrible way to decide. How about what actually interests you?
Worked in HCIT/HC services my whole professional life and grew up around people who are clinicians. Truly have a lot of passion for covering companies like that. It helps that many are poorly run and require a growing desire for a lot of leverage for faster growths via PE investments.
I care more for deal quantity vs size of the deal.
