Hi, anyone would like to chat about the language requirements for EMEA offices? I know that Bain is not particularly strict about that. Thanks!

No German needed for Zürich.

Yeah, a few cases require German (e.g., because the client requires it). Happens in less than 10% of cases tho I would say.

German also not required for German and Vienna offices.

for lower level roles, i think all companies require the local language, they're more likely to look past this for more senior roles

Depends a bit on the office, but l know internally we waive language requirements for office transfers if you commit to working in Private Equity / DDs. What office(s) are you looking at and what’s your background?

In German-speaking offices, we don't technically require German, but you'll always be at a disadvantage socially and for staffing. Might as well start learning now :-)

At least Amsterdam, Nordics and Germany/Switzerland don’t have local language requirements

Any Deloitte fish willing to shed some light on Deloitte's Value Creation Services (VCS) (part of M&A advisory). Potentially interested in making the move from strat. arm of other big player.

1) what type of engagements realistically make up most of the work?
2) where is VCS positioned within the org?
3) how does VCS within M&A advisory relate to work done at e.g., Monitor Deloitte?

Thanks.
