Deloitte M&A tech vs. EY strategy and transactions vs. Pwc DDV. What are people’s experiences from a team culture, WLB and pay perspective?

Speaking for DDV, good exposure to different industries and collaboration with other teams within deals like FDD, strategy, etc. Depending on the size of the team you could have lots of opportunities to work with different people/specialists. Pre-deal work can be a bit repetitive, but that also makes it easier to master, limited opportunity to build relationships with clients due to quick turnaround. I haven't had any post-deal exposure, projects tend to go on longer so I would assume that you will have more opportunities to build relationships with the team/client and gain more depth and understanding of the industry and the business. Culture can be quite cutthroat at times, but obviously depends on who you work with, the approach and timelines. Work-life balance is definitely a struggle, unless you establish boundaries upfront (depends on the region as well)

I'd probably write off balance for M&A in general. It for sure disappears at DDV as you climb. Some projects are "chill" but most are not and certain groups are very strong proponents of lean staffing in US and AC the rest. Pay is competitive for post MBA folks. I won't speak to others you can find the salary chart online by a quick Google.

I think EYP is the best pay. Many good people I know left Deloitte for PwC and many others left PwC for EYP.

I’d add PwC’s PEVC group to that mix. Pay is higher than DDV, also would think all other factors are similar (culture, WLB, etc.)
