Worked on an M&A integration recently. It sucks when there's vital info you need from a client contact but they're made redundant so they drag their feet and you get screwed by last minute surprises

Why is m& a harder. Can you share some experiences? I am interviewing for a position in one of the the other big 4. Would really helpful for me :)

Oh nvm hehe

Nature of M&A work will be same right?

Op, are u talking about CDD or integration? And why is it no joke? I am in a M&A group too so just curious

Never personally done M&A but heard the hours are brutal

It's because the timelines are real and if you don't meet them, the client can face enormous tax penalties and lose shareholder confidence.

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??

I’m new on the job search and still employed. I’m looking to grow further in the logistics industry.

Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?
