What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate college student might consider?
Google offers a variety of entry-level positions across both business and engineering functions. Within mergers and acquisitions specifically, there's less opportunity for an undergrad.
M&A typically lends itself more towards candidates with proven track records. If you're interested in mergers and acquisitions, I typically recommend working in consulting or banking after college.
There are lots of undergrad opportunities there. Then, you can use that experience to get into mergers and acquisitions at a company like Google.
