Hey guys, I closed an M&A deal and I want to put it on my resume, but there was a follow on acquisition that I was not staffed on. I was too swamped on a few other live things, and another analyst worked on it. If I put the original closed deal, would that draw questions of why I didn't work on the follow on acquisition during PE interviews??
Thanks!

I don't think it would draw questions... and anyways, in just one sentence you already explained it well enough. I think you're fine and overthinking it.
Thanks that's a good point
What are the chances they even know about the follow on? Unless it was FB, those things are hardly publicized. As you said, "I was staffed on x y and z when they did the follow on, and so wasn't involved." No one will care.
Edit: Skimmed this the first time and thought you were talking about an IPO. Do people say follow on for subsequent acquisitions? That's sort of a weird phrase to use, don't think I've ever heard outside of the context of a capital raise. Regardless, if it's an M&A deal, it's even less of an issue in my mind.
