Does the public sector ever close infrastructure deals that require DDs?

Can you clarify your question here?

The government (public sector) is a customer of private sector. It puts infrastructure projects out to bid through RFPs, which vendors can then bid on. Evaluation of proposals is where due diligence ends.

I think you’re using the word differently than others on the thread. Due diligence just means you’re checking the boxes… but for what? A lot of times the financial, commercial or operational is the PE firm or lenders asking for someone to check those boxes… there’s also legal, etc. but consultants don’t do those.

I think the real question here is “does the government hire strategy consultants for due diligence topics for infrastructure investments, and if so where?”

The only sorta M&A in government is when they are combining entities. The largest Fed merger was the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. If you recall, they combined a bunch of standalone agencies and create one or two new ones.

But local government from time to time does need help when combining programs or departments. They call it cost savings or synergies, but it’s really M&A.

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?

I interviewed for an employed role and knocked my business plan pitch out the park, but could tell I disappointed them with my technical. By my own admission I’m lacking in this area as only have 1.5 years experience with a poor manager who only had me focus on biz dev.

They asked me what my salary expectations are but had already hinted my experience would knock me down a pay grade.

As it was 4 of them and 1 of me I said I would email them. How do I play this without lowballing myself?
