Pitch / deal work split
How often are you guys pitching and what is % of your time spent on deal work vs. pitches?
Would be good to know what kind of bank you are at.

Depends… when you first start out you’ll be on pitches until you win one - then staffed. From there if you do good directors / VPs will start to pull you onto other deals / pitches.
Currently on multiple deals and no pitches. I’ve had it when I was an analyst where I was on multiple pitches for a few months, as we weren’t winning them.
I would say my overall hours spent in IB has been 80/20 deal to pitch.
