How much does the skill set required to succeed as an entering M&A Advisory Analyst/ Associate overlap/differ from that of one entering Consulting with an MBB firm?
Certainly M&A requires a stronger level of specific financial knowledge. But is the skill set required more alike than different?
Thanks for your help.
