Hours stretch long and shift with deal deadlines — here's a typical busy day:
Scan overnight deal news and client stock moves. Flag anything for the VP.
Lawyers, accountants, and client hop on. Align on this week's timeline.
Build Excel model of what the target is worth. Question every assumption.
Read contracts and financials for hidden risks. Decide whether to flag one now.
Draft slides pitching a merger idea to a new client.
Relay buyer's offer to the seller. Debate pushing back tonight or cooling off.
Senior edits land. Fix numbers, formatting, and talking points on slides.
Recheck model outputs against slides. Send the revised draft before midnight.
Log open items for tomorrow. Hope the phone stays quiet.

- Do I push back on my VP's edits, or just fix the slides?
