Banking as an analyst has a lot of mundane work that requires no more than a monkey could do. Modelling (M&A tends to do if your bank separates into product / industry groups) is arguably the most interesting and the one thing to remind you that you are still slightly more superior than a trained monkey. On top of that, big PE firms like smart individuals that worked deals where they modeled because they offer less training.

 

Laborum est odit dignissimos nihil rem impedit vel. Neque expedita est dolore id sequi.

Repellat et et molestiae neque. Necessitatibus dignissimos ipsa alias omnis praesentium quis est. Nisi et est qui dolore odio occaecati.

Sed nostrum impedit nostrum fuga nihil harum facere. Laudantium saepe quam porro sit.
