Sometimes i feel that PE clients don’t value our work at all. It’s more of a check the box activity

The only time I think FDD adds value is when we kill a deal tbh. Otherwise it’s confirmatory at best

Sell side work is more value add than buy side, 100p

I mean… I don’t sometimes feel that way, that’s literally a fact. I enjoy working for corporates so much more. You’re being valued and better paid.

It’s not. Bill rates per rank are higher so pay is higher.

The further up market the deal the more it becomes a check the box exercise. LMM has more opportunity to be value add

Value add for them is alot of purchase agreement review. If you are below a manager 3 you won’t see that.

It depends on the client and transaction. On more complicated and nuanced carve outs and transactions where we need to figure out targets for NWC or other PP adjustment mechanisms, we can bring a lot of value. We can also bring a lot of value in the contract language around assumption of liabilities as well as PP adjustments.

It’s okay we know, thread is littered with dumbasses

If they pay then they value

One of the best answers I’ve heard. Some deals are check the box others have legitimate deal value we can add. There’s a reason they pay us
