Thoughts on TMT in 2016
As you may know, tech IPOs had one of their worst years in 2015, and there are murmurs of a bubble in private tech valuations, esp. at the higher valued companies (unicorn-level). At the same time, M&A was at an all-time high in 2015. I will be joining a TMT boutique for SA , and have no idea what...

Q&A: 2nd year - TMT M&A Analyst
This is a throwaway account because a lot of people know me on my usual handle.

MT NY or Tech NY?
I'm an incoming associate that's going to a BB with a split MT & Tech group. It seems that I have to choose one or the other.

Exit Opps from TMT Boutique
I know firms like Raine, LionTree, Allen & Co , Union Square Advisors, Financial Technology Partners , etc don't have a lot of precedence for exit opps, but do they still get looks from recruiters for PE?

Citi M&A TMT or Financial Sponsors to VC?
Fellow Monkeys, I am considering joining Citi in London soon.

East Coast Technology M&A
It seems like everything I read about Technology M&A is based out of SF. Is it possible to focus on technology M&A but be based in New York? If so, is that more commonly done through finding a tech industry coverage group in New York or just join the M&A function? I want to focus on business to...

Any advantages to networking with an Analyst?
Is there generally any advantages to networking with Analysts? The only advantage I see is if you hit it off with them, they can refer you to an Associate, VP, or MD.
