Hours are typically 50-60 a week, my TC this year will be around $140k ($115k base)

Integration and separation teams. They do complex programmes such as carve out planning and delivery. Sometimes you still need to do a bit of numbers but that limits to costing something up rather than digging into financial statements; for example company A wants to exit Europe - how much the disynergy there would be

Yes, but not much difference. These so called M&A consulting teams are typically very very top heavy and managers are expected to learn a lot (not acting as EM for sure)
