is that bain and highbridge capital combined?! like VOLTRON or the megazord?!
They haven't closed a deal in years.
Go to Harvey & Co. (in Orange County) for same type of role.
Just looked up Harvey & Co. on LinkedIn and they are actually recruiting for an M&A Analyst, but in the job description, they've listed compensation as $40K+. What does that mean? Surely they don't offer anything close to 40-50K for an M&A analyst position?
That is a regional boutique. They have a shady reputation, and comp will be quite low. Better than nothing, though. I know someone who worked there, and did not like the culture.
Yeah, I'm definitely running out of options. Can you elaborate on what you mean by quite low?
Lower than industry average. I do not know what is their current compensation level, so can't tell you the exact number.
They are an buy-side advisor. From what I've heard, they are more like a business development arm of a pe group or corporate client. You pretty much spend the whole day researching and cold calling companies. Your goal is to try to gauge a company's level of interest in pursuing an off-market transaction. You also write a lot of company profiles. That's as exciting as it gets. There's little to no modeling involved, as the PE shop or corp client will do their own analysis. It is for this reason why you are paid so little. What's good is that you don't have to work long hours. This is a very boring role. If you're goal is to move to a sell-side shop, it would be difficult because of the lack of technical skills. Good luck, though.
Thanks, that was very helpful. This position is definitely not as appealing as I thought.

Any information of this firm, particularly, their M&A group? What is the pay and work life balance for a SA and Analyst?
thanks in advance
The M&A managers with whom you'll be working are very approachable, but you'll probably be spending +40% of your time sourcing deals. Pm if you have any other questions.
