M&A diligence (FDD or not) is a cyclical nature, 8pm when on a deal would be a luxury. Usually it’s at least 2-3 weeks of very late nights and early mornings, likely weekends look basically the same.

Then, you spend a week responding to occasional follow-up’s with pajamas on and questioning life decisions waiting for the next deal.

Do companies sometimes offer "gifts of appreciation" if you're not selected for a merit increase? My manager randomly called me to let me know I was chosen for the "gift" this year bc of my "hard work & dedication", except now I'm learning other colleagues are receiving actual merits.
I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.

Should one add their personal technology that are currently used for remote work on their resume? Seems most companies will provide the hardware and software needed. However, it’s unclear if the employer will provide this through Teamviewer/VPN connection or will send an actual computer. Along with this, would it be pertinent to add your internet capability (speed, fios/cable/satellite/dsl)?
