Forget about IB. Their recruiting is extremely rigid - perhaps even close minded. Unless you fit a very specific profile, as alluded to by other people here, you will probably not even be considered for a position. I can't imagine why someone with 9 years of experience would want to start in IB either. If you just graduated from college, you might be ok with being @#$%& around for 90 hours a week. However, it's hard to imagine that this would be desirable to someone in their 30s.

"Capital Markets", on the other hand, has a very broad definition. There are also many tiers of positions within this broad industry. Do you have something specific that you want to do?
