Most analysts are nowhere near as good as they think. So unfortunately I have to do it. By the time they’re good they leave!

What exactly do you/people mean by modeling? Always been confused by that. Is it the operating model on a live deal or do you mean basic DCF/LBO/Accretion-dilution for say a pitchbook or bake-off? Given the frequency I’m assuming the latter?

Depends on timing typically. If there is adequate runway / typical love deal, I’ll let the analyst take a crack at it. If he or she sucks or there is a tight deadline, then I’ll hold the pen

For those also going through this, any tips on how you manage yourself day to day? What self talk tends to help?
