You do not do boring PMO. A lot of projects we do are around helping define the technology strategy for a divestiture. Which assets to divest from and how. Whether to go for physical separation on day 1 or not. Again - if you're s&o, you will do something similar in the finance, treasury or HR function. But underlying responsibilities remain similar. You also socialize approach with senior client stakeholders. I won't say you will not do any PMO, but it's a small part of the overall project.

How unfortunate...

D1 is 100% accurate. You will be doing all boring ass PMO in either M&A.

Which group handed due diligence?

Isn't there a strategy and diligence piece to Deloitte's M&A group?

There is a growing strategy and diligence practice. Lots of PE ODDs, but I've done some really cool CDDs for F500. I spend about 50% of my time in pre-deal, and the other 50% in post when I get too burned out

D4, how long do these engagements generally last and how much say do you have in getting pre-deal vs post-deal projects?

The pre-deal engagements are anywhere from 3-8 weeks, with 4-5 as about average. I would say they make up ~25% of projects, but a significantly smaller portion of revenue bc we often will offer a discount for the downstream work (only applicable to the strategic buyers, not much hope for downstream work with PE/financial buyers). However, if you only want to do pre-deal, you can spend 90%+ of your time there.

Focusing only on pre-deal work is a hard path to partner however due to the smaller $$$.

I so badly wanted to get offer letter and resign from my company.

Now I have OL and serving notice, still I’m not happy and want to go for higher package and better offer.

Seems like, This is a never ending rat race, what do you guys do to relax? To have some quality time? I am somehow not able to enjoy my life and this hits me hard quite often.

Also it’s easy to see people earning double with same YOE. Do you guys feel the same?
