Up to a point. You’ll still want to take some Wall Street prep courses to round out your modeling skills

The real question isn’t if FDD preps you for corp dev. The real question is, can you think like a strategic investor?

If that's the real question I'm guessing the real answer is no for a career in corporate development

The real question really is who crossed the road first, the chicken or the egg.

I’ve been with PwC almost for a year now in the valuations group and I don’t see myself doing this long term. 90% I’m helping Audit Teams understand valuations and 10% I’m doing PPAs. I always wanted to go into more a consulting role (ops/strategy role). I also like modeling, but the current modeling I’m doing is more accounting focused rather than finding business value from synergy creation. Ideally I’d like to stick with PwC but I’d switch too. Thoughts where I should apply too?
