Corporate M&A in a BB - Analyst

Opinions on such a position? Currently a sector (not FIG) M&A analyst in a BB - an opportunity in another BB has come up in their Corporate M&A team.

I'm guessing most of the activity is defensive in nature, i.e. trying to fend off competition from Big Tech and fin-tech start-ups. I'm looking for an easier work/life balance.

Thoughts/opinions would be great with regards to: - work/life balance - tasks/activities - exit opps - etc.
