Yup. Really depends on the group you join and how good the people around you are. But at least for me I really enjoy it because my VP has taught me a ton about M&A. Hours are variable but usually 50 hours a week at most. Landed the role probably because of a strong resume (big 4 generally is well regarded) and crushed a quant / cognitive exam. Did not have Tx experience before joining so had to make up for it with strong soft skills, ability to learn, good fundamentals.

What do you wish design students would learn in school to ease the transition into needs of business? I have seen an increasing need for more education/inclusion/overlap into other areas of business that depend on design teams so they understand what goes into the process. As well as design teams into the other business teams. This would alleviate tensions and improve quality product delivery due to the major miscommunications that occur so frequently.
