I don’t think I can take too much more. Starting to worry I’ll drop dead at my desk and be one of those stories you read from time to time in the papers about overworked corporate dudes

I have a very superficial understanding of what m&a bros are doing

what are you doing for 15 hours a day for that long? are deal teams driven by just a few lawyers doing all the actual work so you’re basically doing 5000 different action items all at once until closing?

You are working to buy or sell a company. So you need to know everything material about the company. That takes a while. At the same time you are allocating the risk based on what you know about the company. You are playing games with purchase price based on how debt or working capital are defined, accounting magic. Every deal is different but there’s always random struggles, either trying to incentivize the next Elon Musk or solving some bad IP ownership issue or figuring out how fucked the company is with some litigation or working with regulators to approve the deal. There’s a billion moving pieces and always more to do. It can be addicting that way because it’s like getting to know everything important that someone else knows on a hyper timeline. You can boil down an exec teams last years to a few conversations. Everything you are focused on is actually meaningful and you are filtering out the noise and making a lot of judgments. After the deal there’s a sense of euphoria but also one of sadness because you are no longer in the fight, no longer living in that moment where nothing else matters, like coming down from a drug and then suddenly things are Boring again

I am 40

I wouldn’t know what else to do

I actually hate vacations. My wife is always trying to schedule them and then gets mad when I’m working on them.

I don’t like to be alone with my own thoughts. Work is a huge distraction for me, almost an addiction

I feel like I understand the fun of m&a and also the downsides. I'm much happier in-house at a company that does a lot of m&a. You simply can't imagine the change in stress level going from a firm to a 9 to 5 in-house. And IMO it's more interesting to be a level up the chain strategically, delegating more while still being involved in material decisions.

No one at the firm will protect your health: you need to do it yourself, by just disappearing when you need to. It's fine, it'll take them a while to can you (especially if they're that busy that you're working that much), even if they do they'll offer you generous severance, and you should start looking for other work
