Can i add that there is a risk to having too many JBRs on a deal? there will be lots of fighting to kiss the ass, which may potentially jeopardize the deal.
Assume you are one of the JBRs on a deal with another ten JBRs/Co leads. First of all, everyone tries to please the company management and the company, unfamiliar with the debt offering, may be too flattered/overwhelmed and they dont know who to listen to. If you provide some tough opinion, other JBRs may badmouth you in front of the company. So everyone plays safe and the deal failed eventually. See 万洲国际case
secondly, more JBRs more coordination work. you may find 80% of the time you are coordinating rather than executing the deal....
And there is also lots of fighting going on. Such fighting can get really ugly and political.
Investment banking requires high EQ, esp on a 20+JBR-deal. LOL |
