Capital Markets Exit Options
I'm an incoming first year at Cadwalader and am slotted for their Cap Markets group. It's their bread and butter generally and they're supposed to be the best in the world at CMBS.
I know nothing about exit options from this practice area. What am I looking at?

Re: Capital Markets Exit Options
In-house positions in corporate finance departments. In-house positions with a more generic role. Legal role at financial institutions (investment banks, funds, etc.). All of those more common for a client with whom you or your firm have significant contact. SEC and other financial regulators. Other firms doing capital markets work.
Some people transition into business roles, but that's a path you really have to clear on your own, not exactly an "exit option" as people traditionally think.

Re: Capital Markets Exit Options
Is there any path from CapM to a more lit-based practice down the line?

Re: Capital Markets Exit Options
I'm in-house at a bank and we have a few ex capital markets associates. We didn't work with any of their firms prior to hiring, fwiw (as is the case for nearly all of our hires).

Re: Capital Markets Exit Options
Interested in this too.
I'm an associate in a CM group thinking about going in-house eventually. Can someone talk about how your tasks differ between being in-house and at a firm? Compensation and hours compared to being at a firm? Any other major differences?

Re: Capital Markets Exit Options
Cadwalader's capital markets department is a bit different (I think) in that it is pretty much exclusively securitization/structured finance. I think other groups handle things like IPOs. Should I be worried about my exit options? What might they be?
Not going to lie, http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... p?t=237369, that last post is keeping me up at night wondering if I made a bad decision.

Re: Capital Markets Exit Options
Are we all going to get Cadwaladered with the market doing what it's doing?
