Where to start on the "tell me about a deal" question

Any help is very welcome! I am not a finance major (engineering) and very confused on the deal question.

Which websites/resources do you guys use to stay updated? What are some of the key points that the bankers are looking for when they ask you this question?

I assume you mean the tell me about a deal question. If so, just follow this structure: The deal; 1 sentence on company backgrounds; Why it happened; Its impact and your two cents. To stay on top of deals, just subscribe to litquidity's newsletter: https://sparklp.co/be973d47
