I did M&A Investment Banking for the last 10 years, not post-merger integration advisory. From the IB angle, here is my point of view.
I enjoyed the most:
– Learn about new companies, industries and business models.
– Every deal is unique and you are faced to new challenges.
– You get to connect with business owners, C-level executives and other advisors.
– Once closed, you get to see the tangible outcomes of your effort.
I enjoyed the least:
– Long hours.
