Hey everyone! I'm hosting a quick Q&A. I'm currently an Analyst at an industry-specific boutique focused on Power, Project Finance, and Renewables with 2 years in DCM and M&A.
Brief background:
• Path: Non-Target but smaller Top 100 Business school → Interned 2 years during college→ Now an Analyst for 2 years
• Focus: Live Deal Work along with training new Analysts
• Typical work: Models, CIMs, CIPs, Managing VDRs, Client Engagement
• Current priorities: Mainly live deals, pitching, as well reviewing work from more junior analysts. The work I review is more internal work that I once did but now newer analysts do
I’m happy to answer questions on recruiting, networking, modeling, day-to-day responsibilities, and exits into private credit or private equity. Admittedly, I have not exited IB but still have friends that have and I have done the research myself when I was considering it.
What's the main exit you're thinking about?
Currently doing similar coverage as you at a BB and it seems the standard pipeline is to infra fund, but not sure if that's of interest personally
Infra fund is definitely the most common exit. If I were to exit it probably would be some form of infra fund either private credit side or traditional pe as well. I have considered also exiting the "high finance" space as a whole and do a more internal M&A corporate role at an IPP. Big paycut compared to IB however still great compared to most other jobs from what I've heard and much better hours overall outside of deal closing and the sprint but even then won't be anything crazy like 90+ hours.
How do you explain to non finance friends and family that you’re not a financial advisor and cannot take over their retirement accounts?
Repellat ratione quisquam quidem temporibus quaerat omnis voluptates. Praesentium nostrum aut cum. Dolore dolores a iusto et quasi atque ab. Explicabo quia corporis hic in. Rerum magnam explicabo velit aut.
