Buy-Side Advisory

A few buddies of mine and I are getting recruited pretty hard by a buy-side advisory. All the essentials that you think are included - cold calling, primary research, managing a team of research interns, etc. Essentially, a buy-side brokerage with a medium amount of financial analysis.

While non-glamorous in the short run, a variety of LMM and MM PE funds gave feedback that this experience would be helpful if the ability can be shown to source and vet deals (with the context being that I have a strong quantitative background, and this would round my experience out)

My question to you guys - is this legitimate advice?
