ECM -> Asset Management
Hi all,
I'm currently doing a traineeship at a universal bank in NL. The traineeship is ending pretty soon and I have narrowed down my next career choices to Corporate Lending and ECM.
Right now I'm trying to find out which option would be best for me, and yes I also take exit opps into account. I have read several times that exit opps for ECM are not that great. But I was wondering if a transition from ECM to Asset Management is a likely one.
I'm not planning on doing ECM because of exit opps alone, although it is still one of the factors I want to take into account when choosing my next career step.
Thanks!
I have seen ECM to AM but but less to PE (should have been more clear). But I know of someone going from ECM to PE as well (but that was in Europe, might be different in the US)
Do you think ECM to AM happens often? I mean, the connection to the markets is clearly there. Could AM be considered as the logical buy-side exit opp for ECM bankers, whereas PE and HF are the logical options for M&A and LevFin bankers?
Most ECM bankers I know stay with the bank longer and are less keen on doing a fast exit compared to M&A bankers... I would say AM and HF are options but even within ECM, there are very different roles but as everywhere else it always comes down to yourself & your network
But someone actually working in ECM will be able to give you a better answer...
