Does Boston Consulting have an M&A and Private Equity Practice? Based on company webpage this is not quite clear…perhaps it is not a main focus as it is with, perhaps, Bain? Or the competencies are integrated within the practices of BCG?

Getting an offer for an L6 non-tech position under strategy. This would be for a MCOL city. What are reasonable numbers I should ask for vs. should truly target to compromise at? The recruiter is asking for a number first. 10 YOE

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?

Has anyone had an interview with Aston Carter before? If so, what would be some advice you would give?

Hi Everyone,
I have a query. Not sure if this is the right forum for it, but let me just ask it here.
I have completed my B.Tech. on 2020 and got a job in an MNC with a 3.8LPA, but due to COVID, the onboarding was delayed to Feb 2021. During this time, I had enrolled myself for a distance M.Tech. degree.
I recently joined a new company with a 10.1LPA a month back.
Just two weeks back, my M.Tech. degree is completed.
Should I have some increment in my new company as to my M.Tech. completion?

Do you always wash your hands after petting your dogs? I got a new puppy and am constantly washing hands and trying to be as sanitary as possible. I'm simply to grossed out if I don't especially since I found out my puppy has worms.

Any good books for someone trying to understand the business side of marketing? Just got my review an they're asking I bring more of that MBA mindset to projects I'm on.

Had some interviews with Deloitte this week in FDD was supposed to have 2 more next week but they changed scheduling and said 1 of the partners was busy and the other just wants to do a phone interview rather than video now. Am I being paranoid or is this actually a bad sign

Anybody know any good tech companies that are hiring at the moment? Current company I am at is going down the drain fast due to poor leadership and financial decisions. I’m open to options….

Cord cutting next month! Any recommended solutions? I mostly watch Netflix and sports (NCAA, NFL, NBA).

Any M&A tax practices out there that will allow remote/mostly remote work in the future? Where?

FDD during an economic downturn?

How’s the compensation difference between FDD vs FDD analytics? I know they would be about similar, but even so curious. Any preference between the two?

Fishbowlers. I got a bad performance review. I need to knock my next one out of the park. Open to any suggestions. S1 in month 6 of starting. I need to get quicker and be able to be a ‘lead senior’. How can I make a manager and directors life easier?

For those that have big 4 and MM FDD experience, what’s the difference in hours? Did you like one more than the other? Salary range for seniors?

Any big 4 recruiters out there? Looking for a staff/senior level FDD role. Have 3 months of deals experience currently and 2 years audit/aas.

What are base salaries gonna look like for S2 in KPMG FDD at MCOL? What about S3?

Have any firms sponsored mbas for tas people? I really want to do an MBA in the future, but mathematically speaking I will probably be around s2 or s3 when I apply. At that point it may not be justifiable.

I was approached by an external recruiter about Houlihan Lokey TAS at a senior level (SVP / Director). No specific comp ranges discussed yet, but I hear bonuses are massive. Not sure if anyone has insights at that level as most posts are for analyst / associates - thoughts?

Also hearing about a lot of turnover at senior levels - for people who work there, what's the story? Is it a leadership problem or just limited to offices?

Is there anyone in Charleston, SC working in technical accounting advisory (similar to AAS for KPMG)? I’m currently a senior in KPMG AAS thinking about moving to Charleston and want to see what career opportunities are. Thanks in advance!!

Are there even any FDD type jobs in Pittsburgh? Been hard pressed trying to find.

So do higher ups (managers/directors/etc) in FFD talk to each other about the progress of seniors and associates in a similar manner to how the staff are ranked during audit roundtables??

What’s FDD like at Bain, BCG, or McKinsey?

I’m in FDD… I know I signed up for this but there’s something about the anxiety that comes on a Friday knowing that we still didn’t get access to VDR .. and how that anxiety grows as you enter the long weekend knowing that access can happen at any minute (or not) and you have to tippy-toe on the idea of potentially cancelling on your memorial weekend plans. I know the unpredictability of our job but phew 😮‍💨

How often are mistakes found in sell-side databooks?

Just curious. Excluding business recovery / restructuring teams that are more counter-cyclical. What TS group do you think is the least cyclical? Valuation / modeling? Accounting advisory? Then lastly how “cyclical” do you view them?

Has anyone here moved from FDD to M&A consulting recently is willing to share their experience?

What firms do higher variable comp? I’m familiar with A&M’s model, but curious if there are others. Figure if I’m busting it, might as well get compensated for it.

When do you actually start to feel useful in FDD? I've been in FDD for 6 going to 7 months and sometimes I still feel like I'm doing the grunt work non critical thinking.
