FDD
If your goal is to stay in m&a I did FDD then went to sell side IB. Also FDD firms can name their price right now, so you can name your salary if you’re good enough
CDD is where it’s at
CDD: you conduct some “expert” interviews, you talk to some customers, you may do some kind of survey, you SWAG some financial analysis and then you boil it all down into some pretty stretch conclusions. And then you do it again on the next one. Challenge is more selling the work than doing it
Target Screening and CDD is fun .... ODD/ITDD is interesting. You get to use your brain (at least a little bit) for all pre-deal work. PMO/IMO/SMO is the most boring M&A work ever.
D1: To be clear - my comment was directed at OP not using his/her brain.
Being dependent upon a team for success shouldn’t surprise anybody. This is exactly why trashing PMO (and there’s plenty of it and some of it is justified) makes little sense to me. You are driving that team success. Whether it’s a single element or a functional workstream, it all matters.
If your team structure is that much of a bottleneck, sorry to hear it. Fortunately that hasn’t been my experience.
Define favorable? For M&A consulting? It’s all a side show to deal teams
Sure get an MBA. You can pivot to whatever from there.
OP, I know unpopular on FB but value creation strategy and ODDs aren’t bad too. Trying to figure out how to increase enterprise value through cost cutting and restructuring isn’t too bad. Also, interesting and analytical if you’re doing it strategically by looking at industry perspectives.
This work is good work 🤌
