[QUOTE="aditik, post: 1308, member: 300"] Yeah I think this is a really great starting point. So we should probably try and tease out the differences in the tasks carried out by say a trainee on an M&A deal versus an analyst in an investment bank? I found this on the linklaters grad website and it was really insightful: [URL]https://careers.linklaters.com/en/early-careers/commercial-awareness[/URL] It is from a trainee's perspective, working on a typical transaction. Maybe we could compare this to what analysts at investment banks, or management consultants do? I thought about the fact that a banking analyst would probably be working on pitch books, creating financial models, or in trading, this might be on the trading floor, whereas a trainee working on an M&A deal might focus on due diligence, data room building, contract negotiations etc (from the link). I was thinking about how we can use the qualitative skills polished during our degrees (history or politics in my case) which would enable us to be good lawyers, and are more suited to us than a more quantitative profession like banking, accounting or consulting. Any others? [/QUOTE]
