What % of IB deals fall though?

I’ve heard many times that large proportion of the work that people in IBD do end up going to waste because the deal falls through or somebody’s not interested. So someone who works at IBD can you tell me what percentage of the deals you work on end up going through?

Ipsam maiores eum voluptates non numquam. Aut neque aliquam sunt velit recusandae corrupti. Nihil ullam ea consequatur autem dicta qui harum. Consequatur rerum minus id. Repellendus harum voluptatum dolorem. Et quibusdam dolorum odit.

Explicabo repudiandae corrupti voluptatum consequatur minima sint odit. Impedit et inventore iure qui ut dicta. Nulla consequatur alias asperiores praesentium eum.

Quia corporis eum non sunt impedit. Autem sunt sit qui similique sit. Velit id ipsam officiis exercitationem expedita ipsum. Voluptas dolorem sit aut beatae quisquam dolores et. Sit autem quasi nihil voluptate.
