I was wondering if anyone else is coming from an IB or other finance background. I did 2 years in Middle Market IB within a Structured/HY muni group and I’m now in a corporate banking coverage group at a Bulge Bracket as an associate.
I was wondering how folks found the process. I have shadowing from when I did my undergrad degree, but it’s been difficult to do given the schedule particularly being in TMT where there seems to be a major M&A or LBO financing each week. The MCAT is similarly a struggle I’ve been averaging ~65 hour weeks and that has ticked up to ~100 with some of the transactions.
