"Describe a recent M&A deal" -- how late can this be?
As title says -- if I have an interview next week and I were to talk about a deal that was completed 8 months ago (announced like 16 months ago), would this be appropriate? Or is it too outdated? For reference, it's a tech deal. My rationale is that, given the 20-30% decline in tech valuations this year, we haven't been able to fairly evaluate the outcome of recession acquisitions, allowing me to inject my own analyses/opinions.
Also, would a deal like this still be applicable for interviews in Spring 2023?
Thanks in advance
I think 8 months is very much fair game. Within 1.5 years is a good time to go with. Might help to drop in things you know about current market conditions so that way you illustrate you keep up on the news.
thanks!
Try to stay within a year.
Fwiw we care more that you know all the deal stats and can talk through the rationale for the deal.
Agree with the comments here, one note is try to stay away from the marquee deal that EVERYONE talks about. E.g. Evercore on Amazon/Whole foods, PJT on TMobile/Sprint, Guggenheim on Thomson Reuters, etc etc
