Work Intensity at Various Deal Stages
Currently working on my first sell-side M&A building the CIM and its just been ridiculous - daily turns, client detonating the deck every version they see, model / data constantly getting updated forcing us to redo CIM charts sometimes 3-4 times, etc. Haven't had a chance to breathe in 2-3 weeks working straight through weekends. And this is just one deal I'm on.
For analysts with a year or two of experience: when working on a deal, how would you rate the intensity of the work at the various stages? (1 - 10 where 1 = I'm watching netflix during the day and 10 = complete absence of a life outside work)
- Pre-mandate (initial due diligence and pitch materials)
- Process preparation (CIM, model, organizing materials in VDR)
- Sale process (buyer outreach, management presentations, request lists, ad-hoc analysis)
- Closing (buyer selected, final diligence process, closing docs)
.
what about the diligence process? Isnt that a major bitch as a sell side analyst / associate?
Tracking investor questions is the worst. I'm always in charge of doing that and it's probably one of my least favorite parts of the job lol
