Resumes for IB analysts to lateral or buyside
Guys, just wanted to see how analysts write their resumes when looking to lateral or go to the buyside.
I know that you usually write about specific deals you worked on, but how specific should you get? Should you write the name of the company, as well as name of the buyer and seller, or is this considered name-dropping? What is the deal is still in progress?
Also, if anyone has examples of experienced resumes that would be great.
Does it say anywhere in that link the specific questions I asked about above? I don't think so.
It actually sort of does.
What's with the attitude?
Huh? He said feel free to use the search function and that link... Which doesn't have the answer to my questions (should you name the company, buyer and seller, examples of resumes)
I would not drop names in CV (but in interview I would mention names if asked - if the deal is done and there is no SPECIAL reason to keep it confidential).
Like such bullet points: - Sale of a private jet manufacturer ($400 mln EBITDA) to the strategic investor (sell-side M&A advisory) - $700 mln private debt placement for the US largest automotive dealership - $250 mln IPO of a company in TMT sector
I would also use word "potential" (e.g., potential sale, potential acquisition, potential offering) if you want to put some deal on the list that didn't close.
Also you can add to these bullet point a more detailed description of what you specifically did, for example: - Preparing pitch books and valuation models (DCF, trading comps, transaction comps) for a sale of a private jet manufacturer ($400 mln EBITDA) to the strategic investor (sell-side M&A advisory)
Anyone have other opinions?
Potential implies that the deal is still live. What if you've worked on a deal that completely died? How would you list that?
But that's my opinion. Maybe to explicitly show which are dead and which are in progress, you can just... write it? E.g., add to the end of the line [deal is currently in progress] or something like that. But I think it is just overloading CV with unnecessary details.
Well I definitely think if it was like an M&A deal that didn't go through or something you wouldn't name the company because that's revealing information.. but what if it's like raising financing that's in progress but known to the public? Should you name the company if you can? Or if the M&A deal was completed?
