I want to be a business partner entrepreneur. I see both of these as avenues to learn about business growth.

FDD doesn’t look at synergies

Imo you don’t need to do either of those if you want to be an entrepreneur. You just need to start. The overlap between entrepreneurship and FDD/GTM is so minimal that it’s a waste of time.

True, but I can only get so far by myself. I’ll need a network if I want to scale the business and also I know there’s ppl smarter than me in finance and FDD, so I’m trying to learn from them.

FDD gets you much closer to entrepreneurs and gives you a better big picture view of how relatively early stage companies operate.

Folks recently joined P in the tech consulting practice. One one of the calls I realized that we are not really selling solutions but mostly staff aug for clients. Is that really how P does business? Coming in from big 4 this was a surprise to me. Given that most D and MDs are homegrown, probably used to this way of business, however we are not selling solutions is a concern in my opinion. Thoughts?

Hi fishies! Considering an internal big 4 move from Western Europe to Dubai. Not sure about WLB and whether there’ll be enough growth and learning opportunities after reading some of the threads here. Anyone up for sharing their experience? Especially concerned about sexism / racism as a WOC…and whether moving back to Europe in a few years will be difficult because the ME experience won’t be considered valuable.
