Hard coded sell side data books are the most idiotic thing that exists in this business. The sellside report exists to make things as easy and efficient as possible for buyers

I was told it’s firm’s new policy to hardcode datapacks and I honestly don’t understand myself

Every time 😤

But how can the firm make money if you can’t charge your time due to all the hours you’re reworking due to sell side hard codes data books?? 😂

Fully linked databook for internal/client use. For third-party use, copy all non-PBC tabs into a new workbook and break external links. This is the way

Has anyone known anyone or thought about moving into restructuring and turnaround consulting? (e.g. firms like A&M, Alix, FTI, etc.) I’ve been in FDD for a couple years but getting bored of it. How do comp, hours, lifestyle compare? I know there is more travel involved once things get back to normal but honestly sounds great after working from home for last 6 months.
