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.
Thinking of transitioning from M&A to coverage

Bump
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.

Was on 100% marketing for 2 months then got staffed on 2 sell-sides which require all my capacity so now 100% deal execution.
