Idk why people are so scared of DDs. I would argue CDDs are less stressful than typical consulting projects. A good manager has the process down to a science, which will limit hours and stress. Clients don’t expect you to come up with groundbreaking insight, they mainly just want to make sure the investment has no red flags and get some inputs that can inform their models, that they can share with lenders, and that they can use as a starting point for growth strategy.

Interviews, market models, and slides are easy. Hardest part for me has been dealing with situations where I get conflicting viewpoints/data points and/or am unable to form a compelling story

It’s a generalist program for everyone on the traditional consulting track, so nobody is hired directly into the practice at the junior levels (both pre and post mba)

rather, you have the option to sign up for the PIPE ringfence for a few months where you only do DDs

Hi, I'm currently with TCS. I have given technical interview with Infosys on 9th October and the very next day I got a mail to send documents. Since then I didn't receive any reply from them.

Similar situation happened with Accenture recently, they put me on hold for long and suddenly turned down the offer after HR discussion for which I'm really concerned now.
