Hello All 👋 ! I am a strategy consultant working mainly on CDD and top line assignments in a small boutique in Paris specialized in TMT. I ll join soon a Top 10 MBA with the objective to break into finance. Being interested by corporate finance but also financial markets, do you think that ECM/DCM could be a good match ? have you any ideas about associate’s salaries in those teams compared to M&A or S&T ? Do they work in trading floors ? how about exit opportunities ?

Thanks for your help 🙏
