Subject: Sorry to bring up IBanking

I know this is not exactly suited for a Law School discussion board but since many of us are JD's that like IBanking, I thought I would ask:

what is it like to be in the Equity Capital Markets Group? hours better than typical IBanking? Exit Options? Any thoughts?

ECM is better than biglaw, but worse than traditional i-banking. The hours are great, though.

Totally backfired. I loled.

I'll have to consult azn, as this is his idea that I've hijacked. Hopefully he's designed some remedy for this obvious shtick deficiency.

Congrats on what I hope was a succesful thread.

Same pay at the junior levels, but the MDs in ECM do not make nearly as much as an MD in lev fin does.

(3) Citi NY Lev Fin

yeah, he has no clue. this would essentially be similar to deciding between sullivan and cromwell, simpson, and latham if it were biglaw.

it's strictly an origination product.

on the whole, I think ML is better than CS.

I'm not even sure what origination is. Something to do with working in "capital markets" and "structuring"?

I'd take ML London.

Undergrads switch around all the time after their junior-year summer internship, but do MBAs do that?

some do. you can always re-interview your second year, but I'll have to see how the market is doing then.
