how to choose deal experience for resume?
Hi everyone. Thanks for reading this.
Currently, I am a first-year M&A analyst at one boutique, starting to look for larger and better-name bank job opportunities. I'm wondering whether it would be better to mention larger deals that closed or are in the later stage or to write about the transactions I've worked on that have not yet closed and are small.
-
None of the M&A deals I worked on during my time have been closed
-
I spent a lot of time on small deals (<50mn) and early-stage deals (signing LOIs), which are pretty interesting and involve much modeling and industry research. I am confident and solid about those experiences. But I am wondering if it would be better for me to cite "large" and in the later stage deals? Or should I cite small but familiar ones?

Regarding the large deals, I work on the modeling and search for the targets. But that's all. Seniors handle the rest.
Many thanks!
I would put down the deals you’re able to talk about the most and have done the most work on. The actually differences between a 50mm, 500mm and 5bn deal aren’t that big in terms of work streams. You’re populating the data room, doing diligence, creating the CIM, etc. Better to have the $30mm deal that you can talk in depth about than a $300mm deal you know nothing about.
Thanks, super helpful!
