Why did no one mention the amount of BS I’d have to deal with

An3 in a MM M&A team.

The amount of logistics I have had to organise is beyond insane.

From calling cabs and airport transfers globally, NY, Singapore, Bangkok. Having to wait until the client is in the cab until I can relax. Have had several incidents where there have been issues and I’ve been awoken at 3-5am by a pissed off client.

Printing, binding, restaurants, organising this is so bloody taxing and means I can’t turn off ever.

What is the point of an EA.

Any monkeys have similar experiences?
