Thank you for the candid response! Is there frequent travel to client site? Perhaps visiting the transaction target as well?

Do you mind summing up your understanding and we can fill in the gaps?

Sure - my understanding of deal advisory is that we are assessing potential acquisitions, sales, mergers for our clients. I would like to eventually exit consulting to work in PE, so Id imagine this would be great experience to have. My main question is how much of the analysis are we performing? Is there valuation performed? And if so, what is the ratio of quant to qual analysis?

What do you do in finance transformation?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
