Because cyber is hard, it's IT then it's specialized. The hard part isn't actually cyber but to be able to convince stakeholders the importance because it's risk based and not quantifiable like installing sales force.

M&A fees can be up to 1% of the deal price. $1B deal = $10M in fees for an integration.

Lots of months and lots of people means lits of $$ in fees.

Strategy bills pretty high per person on weekly billing rate, but PE diligence is by far the highest on a weekly billing rate basis, generally bc they are 3 weeks and packed with staff.
