How to prep for the lateral move?
Moving to MM that is heavily M&A focused. My previous bank did not do M&A at all. Are there any resources to help me prep? Any advice on coming in as lateral in general?

Just lie on your arm with a pillow underneath to minimize the lack of blood flow. FYI not recommended for pregnant women.
You’ll learn most of it on the job. I would revise LBOs, DCFs, accretions / dilutions , Comparables, precedents and perhaps follow a recently closed M&A deal and learn about the documents / processes involved.
Every bank will have their own model template so it’s hard to prep for something you don’t know how the bank will conduct its M&A Modelling.
Can’t hurt to refine your excel skills either.
best of luck!
