Mergers and Acquisitions Associate

Hi,

I work at a business valuation company and have come across an opportunity to work at a BB as an associate mergers and acquisitions. I know investment banking is not the same as mergers and acquisitions but can anyone speak to me what working as an associate mergers and acquisitions would be like?

The work/life balance, The pay,

The job says there will be some travel and overtime pay.
