what’s developer M&A team?

M&A team of a infrastructure developer (building company)

MM IB

That may be my path forward if I stick with MBB. Guessing (s)he wasn’t able to access the investment/m&a functions coming from MBB too. I understand the infra practice is very nascent at my firm too.

Go to MM IB if it’s the right industry coverage group. Else a good developer m&A group with strong deal flow.

MBB profiles don’t get pick up in the infra investing space tbh

We have a good group that works on these deals for CDDs - the challenge is that that experience doesn’t parlay into buy-side opportunities. Even more so than other sectors, infrastructure investing roles don’t value the consulting skill set and would much rather you had spent the time doing models

What should I do? I’m torn between wanting to do MBA at an earlier age vs ensuring good PE employability post MBA(either at current firm or other). Not sure how well 6-10 Mos pre-MBA PE exp is valued
