Been studying M & A really want to break into the field. Outside of studying how should I start? I've already reached out to local firms for internship/entry opps. Looking for multiple contract management courses; have worked as a contractor for over 10 years with Recruiter and Staffing Coordinator experience so I'm "worked training in contracts" 20 years of WE. What else should I do?

Yeah, I've heard that twice this week that it would be tough. I am hoping that my work experience with business managing and consulting can count for something. Weighing so many programs right now; just want to start finding and connect with other M&A/ M& A adjacent consultants.

Brutal field to get into. You basically have to go the right schools for the MBA, then get the internship, that's the hard part. Once you have the internship you should get a job offer at the end as long as you don't screw up. Otherwise you need to have prior experience at reputable firms and network your way in

I’ve been on the bench with less than 10% utilization for 3wks now. I’m a first year and the past month has been slower with not many new projects coming in. I do see a few new projects come in every week but I’m not getting staffed on them. Should I be worried? Should I ask my PM if I should be worried? We’re in a pretty small group less than 20 people
