IB M&A prep

Hi all - pivoting from FDD into an IB M&A team. I have 3 months until I join and I want to prepare as much as possible and would love everyone's advice on what to do. I have done modelling prep, so it's more the other elements of the deal process (e.g. buyers lists, outreach, CIM, deal structuring etc).

Are there any courses / resources that cover the end-to-end process? Everything I find  focuses 90% on modelling.


Thanks!
