There has to be a seller to be a buyer but there doesn’t have to be a buyer to be a seller

Youve kinda got it backwards. A seller doesn’t necessarily use a sell side advisor. And sometimes there are 10 bidders for one seller in a competitive process. There tends to be a lot more buy side work

like

Shouldn't there be both buy and sell sides for a transaction to happen?

I would imagine a lot of companies would be looking at disposing of non-core assets if market conditions continue to worsen.

K1’s got it right. For a given sell-side transaction there would be multiple buyers (both financial and corporate) looking at it, many of whom will use advisors. There are always more buy-side than sell-side deals.

I just learned I was parentified severely, especially emotionally. The discovery came from outside of therapy, but having a place every week to sit down, slow down & reflect def led to it. Being enmeshed with my parents like this was a cause for my anxiety, low self esteem and workaholic, people pleasing tendencies. I'm working on extricating myself and finding my identity again in a way that will be easy on my conscience and values..so I'm learning! Please dont hesitate to go to therapy!...

Has anyone made the transition from non-profit and small firm practice to federal government, big law, in-house?
