I just markets a hundred times. I guess the scale which would have big is exactly on pay for the market, but deals are definitely got larger in size in scale and she's we receive now for his transactions dwarf the size of the other dominant force got yourself, businesses, definitely gotten a larger and more proper, so you covered the technology industry. Let's talk about the technology that we work with I'll see that plane,

What's going on the technology makes you a lot more efficient and in some ways it lets. You work remotely a lot easier and have a little bit of flexibility, but you all I have a hard time on today. In a way you didn't them in Europe We're still does now is that one of the other paper rails, fractured, yellow, was admitted as always in the summary ignore the buyer is, it's all belong at three o clock, it be dot and you get out.

Once you're done, you dont know attracted downloaded Bobby you, then they leave your voice mail, but didn't check it, after the work, and suddenly budgetary passenger technologies impacted the life of bankruptcy, but whenever their eyes. So, when you look cross the industry that you ve worked in the investment banking industry. from emanate. Ip owes to financing would have been the biggest shifts in the industry and innovations that you ve seen over the decades. In some ways a deal still a deal, but things of oxygen pretty dramatically as well.
