Do some MBB engagements are actually working with clients side-by-side ("holding hand") to help them achieve their operational goals kind of implementation? Or is it more advisory, strategy and providing recommendations?
How about Big 4?
I'm at a boutique firm so I'm not familiar with their model. I see they have advisory arms, but wasn't sure about consulting.

All of the Big4 have massive implementation practices. As do McKinsey and BCG. Bain might too, but I don’t know for sure.

3) how does VCS within M&A advisory relate to work done at e.g., Monitor Deloitte?

Thanks.
