General practice or specialized center of excellence (CoE)? KPMG Strategy has certain CoEs, one of which I am part of. The TMT general practice hints at wanting to bring me over. What are the pros associated with becoming more of a “generalist”? I’m current in the technology CoE. M level

I think you are good either way. Both groups doing well. If you join the TMT sector team you won’t be a “generalist”… you will be TMT…and that’s good. The future is sector.

Do you like working in the technology COE? What’s WLB like?

TMT Strategy is booming. Disagree you would be a "generalist” since you would be dedicated to TMT, but to answer your question: 1.) larger and faster growing group than CoE 2.) more engagement opportunities and slots available for promo to Director 3.) You would largely be doing the same work (IT DD, tech performance improvement, etc).

If you like your group, have strong connections, leadership support, etc. no need to change.

Just accepted a new role with a good amount of equity shares…company is at least a few years from going public. I’ve never had equity so this is all new to me (I took it as a data point when considering the offer but not putting too much stock into it - pun intended 😆). Any resources or recommendations on how I can best educate myself or any other advice would be most appreciated!

He also has unreal life stories like he’s a cancer researcher and had tragic family stories. Has anyone encountered a scam like this?

Other than upsell, cross sell and geo expansion, pricing, are all the other revenue synergies completely imaginary?

These are either difficult to implement, or the cost to achieve is so high it basically becomes a dis-synergy through margin contraction. Are we getting too creative with these non-traditional revenue synergy ideas? Have any of you seen the creative ones quantifiably work?
