What's a Normal Workload?

Exactly what the title says, what would you consider a "normal" workload for your average M&A analyst? # of pitches, # of live deals, # of random side projects. I ask because I started my stint in the midst of last year and IMO have been pretty consistently slammed but don't really have anything to gauge it against. Don't work at a BB, but a reasonably large boutique that typically does 15-25 deals a year and pushed the upper end of that range in 2020
