GCs or CLOs are normally former M&A or CM lawyers.
How many real estate lawyers does Google have? (To be fair, probably more than M&A and capital markets combined, but still, I have to imagine they are a minority).
What you're saying tracks with what I hear (CapM/m&a move into corporate generalists), but in practice I seem to rarely see this. For example, Google and other F500 typically don't have a corporate generalist role because every role is fit within a specific lane. Or are you talking about roles at smaller/more obscure companies/PE opcos?

M&A/cap markets is difficult to make early exits from
It's the reverse, except that AGC for commercial is more prevalent. There's more securities/M&A roles posted than GC, even if you're counting "head of legal" for random startups. Still, it's an odd point to raise. The question is, where do capital markets/M&A associates exit to, and you basically said "well, there's more [data privacy/tax/some other random category of roles that these associates aren't going to] openings than securities/M&A."
They take commercial counsel roles
Got it. How do they like commercial work vs. M&A? I'd think the two are very different.
