Hey everyone. I’ve got an interview coming up for Lead advisory (M&A). I really want the job. They’ve given me a case study with a company (no data just a website) and asked me to prepare a two page report on the company for a partner who is going to help a PE firm that owns the company with the sell side mandate. They’ve said to include industry, strategy, operations, financials and other relevant info. Any tips on what I should include in each heading and how I can stand out?

Hi! I’m in FDD and looking to move out of California to either TX (Dallas) or Florida (open to different cities) within this year (around Aug/Sep).
Can anyone speak to the opportunities/career growth available in these cities? I’m not sure Miami is where I see myself in FL, maybe more Tampa—but I don’t think FDD is there.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Dallas too so trying to keep my options open.
Is Dallas > Florida?

Any insight would be appreciated—thanks!
