Question to fellow M&A fishes. I do FDD at EY and was worried deal flow was going to be slow. Haven’t really been on the bench ever since COVID hit though, which seems surprising. Anyone else there feeling like it business is strong?

Hello everyone I have 29 years as a dental professional in Texas. I started as a dental assistant back in 1993. As my career progressed as a RDA, I moved to the front office and eventually management. I even taught dental assistants and became the Program Director of a DA program. COVID opened up remote work for me, I manage eclaims, claims corrections and billing for two offices. $20 per hour, no bonuses or incentives, I know I am not getting paid enough! Any input would be appreciated.
