Yes, but only slightly so. Some of the intense coverage groups are just as bad as M&A

Depends on the deals you get staffed on and the sector you cover. Certain deals are more complicated than others and may eat up more time, therefore making it bad. But in general, coverage hours are slightly better than M&A.

Need advice!
