A better approach is to find out which franchise is the strongest at various firms rather than what's "hot." There could be multiple strong groups at any given firm.
Could you elaborate more? I am trying to break into ER currently.
@stormy54" is saying to look at the actually teams within each company. What's hot is a personal question. If you like cloud computing, you would probably like a software team.
But if you are trying to go to "the best" then it greatly varies depending on what bank and team you are talking to. For some basic reference, check Institutional Investor. They post some "best" team rankings every year.
Try to locate information on the firms website, normally in their prospectus, on which products they offer. By groups he is referring to each team's product, for example small/mid/large cap and value/growth/core as the style. They have to publicly report their quarterly performance, so you can begin there when locating a "top" group.
Weird question. Given certain catalysts unfolding, this could change literally overnight. Also, some firms only cover certain sectors (tech is a big sector to cover), some of those subsectors may have more "hotness" than others.
However, DO NOT GET INTO A SECTOR JUST BECAUSE IT IS HOT. 1, 2, 5, 10 years down the line it might fall completely out of favor. Look at companies you find interesting and expand from there (i.e. look up comps), that is a much better way to get into ER, passion.
Just try to get into the best team you possibly can as long as you don't totally dislike the sector. In the end, most sectors are incredibly interesting and the type of analysis you do greatly overlaps across most other sectors as well. Trying to pick which sectors will be "hot" among the buy-side community for a given year is not something that should concern you since that's definitely not the approach to take when seeking employment.
Nothing in ER is expanding, expect a 20-50% decline in headcount post 2018.
