As a junior, should you list broken deals on your resume? Obviously deals break all the time - negotiations can go sour, client priorities can change, and in a competitive auction only one bidder proceeds to close. But for the most part, banks still do the same work in broken deals/lost auctions, especially juniors, who do the majority of their work before signing takes place. So if you have deals, where you took on responsibility and can speak about the process and details, but which unfortunately didn't close, would you be looked down upon for having them on your resume?

Also curious.
Fine as long as you can talk confidently about those deals and can prove that you did at least the majority of the work you would have on a completed deal. Seasoned bankers all understand the educational value of incomplete deals. Reality is you often learn more from failure than success.
