Anyone here in IB restructuring willing to share tips and good resources to use to prep for an upcoming interview? I don’t have IB/finance experience but took a modelling course on wallstreetprep. Also, I am planning on studying the HL case study and read the interview guides on restructuringinterviews.com. Lastly, If you can share what the interview was like for you, that would be appreciated. TIA

Similar to A2… LMM doing S/S M&A and maxing out at 70. Feeling very fortunate that we’re not 80-100 like a lot of groups, but wouldn’t mind the grind if the opportunity was right
Use that free time productively to either go to a better bank or for alternative incomes
What’s your comp?
110k TC. So definitely on the low end.
Yes but also definitely work at least 70+ hours haha
Depends on your goals. Do you like IB enough to work more hours? What do you want to do long term? A lot of room to move up in comp but your lifestyle will change significantly
I’m at a boutique. Usually around 70hrs. Can’t compare to any BB or MM experience, but would love to hear other’s inputs

What boutique? Sign me up!
What city / what type of deals do you work on? It can’t be sell side m&a with those hours
You’re not in a bad spot. Having some free time while in a banking / financing role is a luxury and resource. Focus your free time into becoming an expert in your craft, then see the responsibilities proportionally increase with your knowledge and capabilities faster than the years your spend as an analyst or associate.
I am at a boutique M&A firm working 50-65 hours a week, our transactions are in the $30m-200m range.
The deals are hairier than the $400m-$500m deals, I am on a $200m deal and they only use a bookkeeper, no CFO. However much more exposure to management at junior level and given the ability to run the model and other pieces of the process.
For those with under 65 hour weeks, how many m&a deals are you staffed on at once? Spoke to a boutique in NYC that said 4-5, sometimes 6 when they’re busy. I’m assuming this place is sweaty af
Wow that sounds nice
