If I decline health insurance at IBM, do I get a cash payment? I have an offer from another firm that gives me $5k... does IBM give anything?

(Wife has free health insurance via her city job)

Hi fishes,
I would like to know the career progression of senior engineer at Mercedes Benz R&D, bangalore. Is this a good role ?

Top Corp Dev teams: Trying to find the “top” (using this as short hand, I know it’s subjective) PE shops had a bunch of resources to use. However, there are no such resources (please share if I’m wrong!) for “top” Corp dev teams. “Top” is probably some mix of caliber of people, comp, ~prestige~, etc. let’s hear y’all’s top Corp dev teams!

African American 🐟 - why do I feel so annoyed when I hear “black” ads on the radio? With the sassy female leads and the urban slang and such. Feels so forced and wack. Just me?

Anyone got onboarding today 19th Oct 2022..? Bangalore location..?

FDD 🐠 I will be promoted to audit SM in October, however looking to transfer to the FDD practice. Based on discussions with partners in the practice, I would be brought in as an experienced manager with opportunity to promote to senior manager in FDD next year. Is the learning curve steep, or should I push to come in as SM? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone else here have terrible utilization because their deals die and a code never opens? /can’t find another code to book hours? I’m sitting on over 200 billable hours at this point

I'm an M1 in FDD (HCOL). What types of opportunities are there where i can get a better quality of life without taking a pay cut. I want to make $160k-$175k but feel like thats impossible.

Have an offer from Kroll and FTI. Which one you guys think is better?
Same position and same pay range.

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.

Has anyone transferred to FDD in late manger years (M2/M3) from audit or accounting advisory? Has the transition been hard? Any advise would be appreciated!

How’s WLB for B4 or the like VAS? How many days in office? I’m at MM Top 20 firm looking to compare. Thanks 🙏

For those in big 4, how much time between accepting an offer and start date have you been able to ask for? Is a month feasible/how should one phrase it? Two weeks just doesn’t feel like enough with this heavy burnout/having to wrap up deals at old firm

How would FDD at a company such as Houlihan Lokey differ from at a Big4?

What are some of the best certifications to obtain besides CPA?

Gonna join PwC M&A tax. What would be the market like if there’s another financial crisis (hopefully not). Are we the people who will be laid off first? Or we will be pulled to do tax compliance? Thanks.

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’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?

What can I expect in terms of comp for incoming S2 from audit to FDD? HCOL

What is expected of an associate in FDD? Especially when there is no senior on the team. Would I be acting senior? How can I better help the team with my limited experience? I just transferred from Audit to FDD.

Has anyone tried to get an extension on an offer and they push back?

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

What is typically the policy for putting the deals you have worked on in your resume? I have seen conflicting notes on whether you can include or not (only the deals that are closed and public)

What is a look back analysis?

Does anyone ever just wish you were in IB? I feel like we work just as hard, and I’m not I to accounting as much as I thought. I can put up with the hours and the pay is just ridiculously different.
