Are there any happy M&A/ECVC associates in groups that are hiring? If so, what firms? Wondering if the happy M&A associate is a myth

Very happy doing a mix of M&A and ECVC at Nixon. Not market, but great team and very flexible on WFH and hours. DM me if you want to chat.

Hi can I DM you for more information about Nixon?

Happy at Cooley. Primary focus is ECVC, also covering IPO and M&A exits. We have a specialized M&A group and then general corporate folks who also handle the less M&A specialized aspects of the deals. I’m in the latter. Feel free to DM if you want to chat!

Do you mind if I send you a DM about cooley EC/VC?

I’m at a lifestyle M&A/ECVC practice that’s hiring — DM me

helpful

I’ll be that person- dm me if you want to chat Goodwin. Obviously adding in any M&A breaks down work-life balance as compared to solely doing ECVC but I still live a much better life than my friends doing M&A at other firms

They’ve slowed down hiring for sure but it’s such a big place you never know, things change pretty quickly

I’m a 2nd year associate and I’ve been working at the same firm since I started. In a nutshell, I love the work (the practice area) but not the people very much (it’s just not a fit). I’ve been thinking of leaving for some time. I have an opening at another law firm, but my practice area would be different. Should I just wait for another opening in my area of preference? With Covid, openings are rare for entry level associates ...

I'd be focusing on:
For old product-
-Free Trial
-automation
For new product-
-Building out from scratch
-UI/UX related user feedback
-sales and marketing focus
-use cases and features

Is this a good move career wise? Love being a PM and looking to grow.

Looking for tips. College was not for me while I was young. Since then I have built a great track record at my previous job in sales, succeeded in a project manager internship, and have exceeded at the role for a year now. Unfortunately, I do not like the direction the company is headed in and want to move on. I have gazed at new companies but the lack of “education” seems to be a reoccurring obstacle. Being in the bay area competition for these roles can be a bit tough. Any tips or tricks?

Is it okay that I’ve been a slow junior as we’re hours away from closing? I’m trying to be proactive and available to cross things off the list but I’m SLOW: takes me long enough that they do it themselves (even though this wasn’t an issue earlier in the deal) and even on quick tasks or emails, they respond to it before I can click send. There’s also so much about closing that I don’t understand and I feel like I’m bothering the higher-ups on the team whenever I ask. *end anxiety post*
