Trusted Advisor or Glorified Real Estate Agent
Curious about the reality of banking at the senior levels. MDs often pride themselves on being "trusted advisors" to CEOs and boards, but are they really? It seems to me that on most M&A deals, especially sell-sides, the investment bankers are basically just running a process. Obviously that's...
