Personal insight maybe??? Thx.

Boutique/Middle Market type deal flow. They can leverage their business connections through their Tax/Audit/Advisory practices, but they are heavily focused on the lower-end of the middle market.

Not prestigious at all. Salary is slightly less than BB, bonuses are significantly less.

This job might interest people who enjoy analyst monkey work, but don't enjoy IBD hours.

So are the hours less then in BB? How much less? 80 per week?

Less, maybe 60-70. They get in around 8:30 and are out by 10 usually. Hardly ever work weekends as well. You can go into the office to work on Saturday and Sunday, but most just work at home if they need to.

Worked with these guys over the summer. They're a good bunch of people and do some really good work. They work with a lot of bigger companies that have their own corporate development or M&A groups but don't have the time to do a lot of the groundwork. Most of the work you'd do is due diligence, although there are plenty of times I'm sure that you would be modelling. If you want to do M&A but don't get a banking job or don't have the stomach for the hours, this is a great job. The pay isn't as great but $55k plus a $10-15k bonus is still a great gig coming out of college.

"Most of the work you'd do is due diligence"

But do you still get valuable deal experience or not really? How are the exit opps into top MBA schools?

Thx.
