1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.

Look, i’ll be brutally honest w you- there are days when it feel like the whole thing is too long, considering how every transaction takes months. for a job or even an internship at capital markets, you need loads of patience, and a great attention to detail. All in all, it’s not a bad job at all, you just need to have a good working environment and everything will be hunky dory.
Having said that, let me know if you reside in Delhi, because I can help you with a good long term internship at a firm here, that might make you love cap marks.
Deserving candidates who actually work these jobs for more than a month know how shitty it can be, but because desperate folks like you exist the partners always think they are gods and that we are disposable.
Then when we leave they struggle to replace us and put some small town hick like you at the job, you fail miserably, then they hike the pay to get back deserving candidates, and the cycle of misery repeats.

Try doing some research as to who the partner is and mail them your application. But you are likely to get it only if you have previous experience. Also I recommend not spamming them with emails. These partners are very proactive, if they like you you'll get a call within a week or two if you don't take the hint. All the best!
Dude, be determined and if you are hardworking enough then CM can be maintained with your personal life. But agar apne baap ke paiso par palne ke aadat the and just job lag gaye phir zaroor CM kya all practice areas are tough and wahe log yaha LI par aakar comments karte hai.
Having said that, it would be interesting how to multiple leaders in CM practice, in addition to the TOP BOSS, work in tandem. Somehow this takes me back to the Greg Chappel - Ganguly Era. Everyone felt that its a match made in heaven but it turned out to be,,..!
Its all precedent based work, some call it as 'glorified clerks'. You get paid to not use your brains, just focus on connecting one dot to another and ensure that you don't miss out on any dots, the work is done. GC/PE/M&A Associates / SA can work in Capital Markets but not vice-versa.
In simple terms, much like a factory setup. The Managing Director (MD) / Partner (in our case) sources the work (nowadays, even they are working on the document), and then associates (the laborers), along with senior associates and principal associates (the supervisors), are tasked with executing it in a systematic, consistent, and mechanical manner. This process follows a predefined structure, with no room for deviation from the standard, typical of the Capital Markets
If there is any deviation, Bankers will have to get an internal approval from their compliance or an informal dialogue with SEBI, as the case may be. Therefore, the work is mundane, laborious, clerical and mechanical.
Never heard of that.
Even at A1 position??
