Not a lot of technical work
As the title says, my coverage team (APAC, not US or UK) is mainly responsible for pulling in deals for other execution teams. We support colleagues while on live deals. Do not usually take leads when executing.
Scope: IPO, M&A, secondary offerings, debt, anything. Mainly IPO and M&A.
Analysts do not get the pressure of pulling in business, but we are encouraged to travel and connect with people to see if there might be something there. (I like this)
Team does a lot of due diligence work with lawyers and auditors, and a lot of pitch books.
From what I've told, not a lot of financial modeling work, except when the client specifically asks for a valuation in the pitch.
From what I've seen on the forum, the more modeling I do, the better the exit to a MF or a BB like Goldman Sachs will be. Any insights here? Specifically APAC(HK/China).
Thank you.
