I think I disagree with Capital IQ's approach. This from their FAQ:

Implied Equity Value(Total Consideration to Shareholders Ã· Percent Sought)
+ Other Consideration
+ Total Earnouts
+ Total Rights/Warrants/Options
+ Adjustment Size
+ Net Assumed Liabilities
= Implied Enterprise Value

I noticed that Vault doesn't have a "Career Guide to Private Equity". Can anybody recommend a good book for newbies?

Are M&A associates always hired in "classes" along a specified timeline, or can it happen on an as-needed basis? Is there variation depending on the size of the bank?

Hey guys, first post here.

I have a few personal connections to BB analysts... And by that I mean friends of friends and old classmates, but definitely not buddies. Anyway, my question is: do you think it's worth it to ask them to pass my resume on? Does an analyst have any pull at all when it comes to scoring an interview? How about random alumni?
