Anonymize deals on resume?
At a MM bank so all my deals are with PE, meaning EV or transaction multiples or anything like that is never disclosed. The deals are always announced (ie [shitty software company] has been acquired by [insert PE firm] ) but nothing beyond that.
Should I include the “[] has been acquired by []”on my resume? I’ve been on deals with some big name sponsors so I think this would lend credibility to my resume.
Here’s my concern- if interviews expect you to walk through deal data in detail (revenue, price, retention, and so on), wouldn’t I be giving away confidential information if I disclose the company name and then later discuss financial figures?
Sure, I could keep it vague, but I only have a few deals on my resume so anything super high level about the company would clearly give away what I’m talking about. How do people handle this?
Rounding 7.8x multiple to 8.0x;
$430M revenue to ~$500M
just fudge and round so it’s defensible
There’s deals on my resume where giving any sort of size/revenue breakdown, even if rounded, would be a breach I think. If deal value is undisclosed given my bank and the buyer universe, it could be a $500M or a $5B, and rounding off $50M doesn’t change that.
Then don’t include the metrics on the actual doc but you can reference verbally.
Curious as well
Bump
Definitely wouldn't include that info on the resume, but was wondering if it's appropriate to verbally disclose those metrics during an interview if it's asked upon.
