I think you want to try and focus on tech m&a then. You know the lingo, you know how the consulting game goes - you just dont know the m&a process.

Its a hard sell. Its drastically different stakeholders and drastically different deliverables and workstreams.

Leverage the industry knowledge and sources of information you are familiar with.

Thanks for the input, I’ll have to guide my search in that direction. Thank you!
