Client Side M&A vs. Investment Banking Side M&A
Hey guys, I'm curious in learning what the difference is between the M&A process from the company's perspective (corporate development team) and M&A transactions from an Investment Banker's standpoint? Don't they both conduct the same due diligence and financial modeling? I'm interested in figuring out the difference because I work for a F100 pharma company that has a lot of M&A transactions and I've gotten some exposure to them, but I don't know how to sell that in a IBD interview. I don't know how I can spin my exposure to M&A from a client standpoint to me wanting to go into investment banking?
