Your internal M&A teams do their own strategic searches and take advice from M&A pitches (haha yea right).

Then you go through a lot of BS and pitching and negotiating and minor stock fluctuations.

I really appreciate your time and responses, but could you folks elaborate more?

Seems like you are a female who will graduate in 2015 - willing to bet that you're at least a 4.5 since your name is Sophia and not something 2-ish like Betsy.

Want to grab a quick coffee/mixed drink or go to a shot bar? PM me your number too.

If the firm has an internal M&A group, that is how it sources potential deals, working alongside BD, business unit leaders and corporate strategy teams.

They also could hire an investment bank to run a buy side process.

Maybe they just simply meet another firm they want to acquire at an industry conference.
