Anyone here in an M&A vertical vs an industry horizontal? Which one sounds more interesting to you and why?

If you like M&A, do that vertical but you’ll sacrifice on WLB generally. I’m personally an M&A major, TMT minor since I do some LSHC diligences as well. Focusing on M&A over industry helps catering to PE clients as well since they often have portcos in multiple industries

Any way of being in Ey s&o and being local? As in, is there a team that mostly does projects that are local (NYC)

Align to non-M&A offering but do a lot of work in the space (DD, integrations). B4 recruiter reached out and wants me to provide resume@for review with hiring partner. Does it work if I provide a bio with summary of M&A projects (client names removed) instead of a traditional resume? Also plan to list education and previous roles.

hi all, currently have two offers:

1: EY - FDD, home city, very good $$ for FDD

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!
