My Backgroud: Rising second year student of a French school (Target) Long term goal: Break into BB (IBD or S&T) Here is my situation: Currently doing an internship in NYSE Euronext, the job is very much like ECM in a IBD involving some equity-linked origination and IPO execution in US and Europe....
Why is DCM/ECM not as good?
I'm kind of curious as to why people dislike DCM and ECM groups so much on these boards. Are the exit opps not as good/are the groups just overall not as impressive as Goldman TMT or something? Maybe my perception is wrong, but I'm basing this off of a noticeable amount of posts when I did a search...
ECM in HK
http://news.efinancialcareers.cn/newsandviews_ite…; Basically it's saying that there's a shortage of labor for ECM divisions. Does this mean that it's easier to get an entry level job in ECM in HK? or does this just focus on upper level management?
Convertible Bond Offerings (ECM guys?)
I'm trying to learn more about the different groups in IB and it seems like working on a convertible bond deal is one of the more interesting assignments you can have if you're in ECM . Could someone break down this type of deal? Why a company would want to issue converts, how it differs from...

Queries Reg ECM Summer Internship
Hi all, I know that summer internships have been thoroughly discussed in the forum, but I had a few specific questions regarding an upcoming summer stint in the ECM dept in Hong Kong: 1.) From what I could gather, ECM is more involved in execution of equity deals rather than origination (which is...

Pru plc: Seeking a dual primary listing and secondary listing
I'm having some trouble understanding Prudential's plans to seek a dual primary listing in Hong Kong and secondary listing in Singapore in addition to its London listing. Pru have stated that there will be no new issue of shares but one of their motivations for the additional listings is to expand...

ECM Vs. M&A
I'm an associate with two offers: (1) ECM outside NY and (2) IBD in NY . When I say IBD , I mean the team focuses on an industry vertical and handles all of the clients' financial needs (M&A, DCM , ECM , etc.). Both companies are focused on the same industry vertical. Obviously, the NY opportunity...
Strategic & Acquisition Finance?
Is an internship in Strategic & Acquisition Finance a good thing to do before an m&a one? Knowing that at the moment, i probably won't find any in m&a (non target school). What about the lifestyle in acquisition finance? The comp for analyts compared to ECM / DCM & M&A? and the exit ops? thx
Capital Markets to S&T
I've attempted to PM a few of the users who seem to have experience in Capital Markets, but have not received a response and figured I could just bring it to the whole group. How feasible is it to move from Capital Markets to S&T , specifically sales? I will be starting in ECM next summer , but see...

Hey guys, I'm going to be working in DCM in a few weeks. Can only one give me a few pointers on how to prepare ( Excel , ppt, bonds markets, bond valuation, etc.)? Thanks in advance!
ECM Skills
What is ECM has been discussed, but much like everyone on WSO I've been focused on M&A . That said, I do have an interest in ECM . What are the skills to emphasize in interviews? In M&A you stress attention to detail, working under pressure etc, and I'm guessing you stress those in ECM too but are...
Quasi-job offer but nervous about sending transcript...
I interned in ECM last year as a rising sophomore and was invited back this year. I'm about to finish my internship and my group head took me out for lunch last week to say he thought that I've done a great job (notwithstanding my screwing up badly my third day) and that he thought I'd have a future...

Converts Group?
I had my offer for an IBD coverage group deferred, but I now have the prospect of working in a Convertibles group. I really don't know much of anything about the actual work at the analyst level in this group. First, am I correct that Converts is technically part of ECM? Second, does anyone have...
DCM/ECM to S&T
Since the Capital Markets groups sit between the pure IB and S&T functions, does movement occur between the three, either within a firm or just exit opportunities? I understand that the skill sets differ, but every post I've seen on DCM / ECM seems to suggest that analysts in these groups have no...
Investment Banking vs Debt/Equity Capital Markets
I know investment banking is m&a and raising capital through debt and equity markets, so how is the latter different from DCM / ECM ? I've looked through this forum and there are pretty contradictory views of what activities fall under which category so itll be great if someone can clear it up for...
Questions about ECM, IBD, and ER
I apologize if these questions are superficial or dumb or they are asked before. I did the search but couldn't find any response that I'm looking for. 1. I have seen that people were saying ECM is the syndicate between IBD and S&T . Isn't ECM , along with DCM , LFG, M&A , other product groups, and...
ECM during downtime
Despite the dearth of actual M&A activity (deals, etc.), advisory services are still proving to be lucrative for a number of banks. I was wondering if anyone working in ECM / DCM or who knows someone who does could comment on what work entails at the moment for the 'execution' side of the banking...
Capital Markets Hours
Does anyone know what kind of hours does the Capital Markets division have? Lets say I'll be on the ECM /Credit Derivatives/Asset Finance desk at a BB over the summer. Are the hours more like IBD or S&T ?
