Looking for resume advice. Feeling like a kid wrote it and unsure what a senior-level resume looks like. Background is in lower middle-market sell-side M&A.

How you thought about hiring a professional? It’s worth it in my opinion.

As a concept or as in, "your resume really needs it"? 😆

OP you can post your resume here and we would be happy to take a look at it for you. Another alternative is hiring someone to professionally optimize your resume. I did that and it was totally worth it.

Okay! It's posted.

yeah you need to build out your bullets with some more detail, align resume to standard WSO format, if you have enough deal experience, then you’re at a “senior enough” level at this point to have a second page with a deal sheet

Why do recruiters never tell you which agency they want to talk to you about until they get you on the phone?

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.
