I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

NYT Dealbook is pretty good as well.

You can always use the company website to find specific deals in specific groups, they'll usually have a bunch listed with numbers. Then you can go through the aforementioned channels to find the multiples and such.

Here's the best way to do it:

Let's say for example you have an interview for Moelis. Then google "Moelis 'DEAL NAME' dealbook". You'll get an article that provides you info about the deal. Sometimes it'll be long and have all the metrics you're looking for, but sometimes it'll just have the transaction value. I used to prefer to talk about private deals when I was going through interviews (for obvious reasons). You should talk about the parties involved, metrics (if available), and the rationale for the deal. The three should be sufficient and they will give you follow-up questions if they want to know more, but from what I've seen, it should suffice.

Good luck.

Anything similar to the old WSJ Deal Profile? Something in addition to the news stories with more details regarding multiples etc....?

451 Group and Tech Crunch for tech.

Easiest thing to do is find a deal and Google "[Company A] [Company B] advised by"

When one man, for whatever reason, has an opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself.

I actually have no interest in the tech sector, I just used those for examples. The problem is I dont even know what the deals are in the first place, so Im looking to find a site that has them organized or searchable by industry AND bank?

I founds something semi-useful on Dealbook where you can search Investment Banking news by sector, but even that isnt as useful for looking up recent deals in that sector by specific banks.

Now you just need to find someone that has access to it. It's a pricey tool if you are just trying to look up ibanks in your area doing deals.
