I’m looking for guidance - I work at a highly acquisitive company in their corp dev/m&a group. I’m trying to figure out the best way for me to present/disclose my deal related work on my resume. Do i mention specific transactions i’ve worked on that closed or speak more broadly? What am i allowed to disclose vs not. My role is to support deal leaders through the entire deal - so there are certain work streams that I lead and other that’s i don’t. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

I would certainly not disclose specific transactions.

Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
