Can you elaborate on that? I thought working on many smaller deals would give you the better learning experience than working on one mega deal since you get to see many different structures.

Also, which experience is better, sell-side M&A or buy-side M&A?

Thanks

 

Because it's not what we do. It may be what pays the bills at Houlihan or Jefferies, but at a bulge bracket bank we don't give a shit about it. Middle Market is where you dump people who don't make the cut for investment banking.

If you want to do MM, go someplace that cares about it and puts good people on it. MM at a BB bank is Siberia.
