Starting in M&A

I have just accepted an offer at an IB. I will be a M&A Analyst and want to have a leg up in my competition. Any news articles I can read regularly or books that I can get a more in-depth knowledge on how to structure deals, negotiate valuations, etc. will be much appreciated.

This lol - SB for you. He's in M&A so will probably have less than his fair share of logo art.

Honestly, just having a good handle on basic modeling and Excel would be a big leg up. Multipleexpansion Dot com is a good place to start, then probably Macabacus Dot com
