Personally I don’t think diligence travel will ever return. Maybe like 20% of what it was. Post-close is harder to say, certainly less than before, but more than pre-close/diligence.

Most of our M&A projects have had very very low expense budgets so assuming next 1-2 years at least will be less travel. I’ve seen one week a month for a lot

As someone whos new to M&A and in financial due diligence when you refer to M&A consulting what are you referring to? ODD? CDD? All of the above?

Can you define “sign to close”

My bigger question is when post-COVID will hit. The pandemic is at the worst level yet and people have learned very little and many zero compassion which is frustrating to heartbreaking

funny

Ease off the MSNBC IV drip. There is basically no metric by which you could even argue “the pandemic is at the worst level yet.” That’s absolute nonsense.

What’s making you consider boomerang back if I may ask - was looking to exit M&A consulting in next year

Getting deals done in industry can be very difficult depending on the executives in question.

It’s a much more interesting experience to me, but is certainly much slower than back to back to back diligences.
