Happy Monday 🐠! Hope everyone has a great week ahead.

Congrats on the Discovery Channel ad peeps! Touched my millennial children who bought it to my attention!

Is booking 40hrs a week freelancing for one company a good idea? Or does that seem like you don’t have anything else going on? I would like a good work life balance with the ability to take off weeks at a time in the middle of all this.

Do you regret hurting or how you treated someone you were seeing and have you grown from it?

Hi

I have done AWS solutions architect Associate certification and AZ-900 certification. I have good knowledge on linux Administration, shell Scripting and java programming language. Please refer me or suggest me ways I can get calls from other companies.

Just had year end discussion. Not at all happy with how it went

Anybody on Trintellix? Thoughts ?

What types of credentials does your program offer to scholars?

Any Canadian company that has a good in-house agency?

What are your biggest frustrations with the wellbeing/burnout prevention initiatives that you’ve seen?

What would you say are the best combination of skills for software engineering now?

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?

Transactions salary range for experienced managers or senior managers SF/LA location. Exploring options with other big 4. Any suggestions.

Hi! How long is the bench duration here? Is there lack of projects?

Anyone from BCG Gamma who wouldn’t mind DM?

If I want to transition into M&A from audit, what are some basic things I should consider?

What kind of questions can one expect in interviews with the A&M PEPI practice?

Any CDD / M&A Strategy fish willing to chat?

Why do private equity firms use M&A consultants?

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

Ok, what does ‘F’ mean

Job Titles-Levels: what are typical career levels within M&A practices at your respective companies? For example, EY-Parthenon recently rebranded the following levels. Curious if this is industry norm. Manager became “Director” and Senior Manager became “Senior Director”

Looking to break into investment banking M&A as a lateral analyst. Been doing Valuations for almost a year (graduated spring 2018 from ug). I've practiced modeling and finance questions. Cont...

Hi M&A professionals, please recommend between Deloitte M&A M vs Aon M&A AD. Both in London.

Is Assistant Director at EYP same as Senior Manager at Accenture?

I'm leaving Deloitte (consultant - capital markets) for an analyst role in M&A (in house) in a relatively small company. How long should I stay and how hard is it gonna be if I want to join an IB or rejoin a consultancy ?

Does experience in financial due diligence with Big4 ensure good future opportunities ? Also how good is it for an MBA finance considering the majority of crowd I have found being CA on LinkedIn..

TIA

Align to non-M&A offering but do a lot of work in the space (DD, integrations). B4 recruiter reached out and wants me to provide resume@for review with hiring partner. Does it work if I provide a bio with summary of M&A projects (client names removed) instead of a traditional resume? Also plan to list education and previous roles.

What are the best exit opportunities after working in ODD, CDD, valuations for a few years? IB? PE possible?

trying to make a move into FDD...any insight into how i should prepare, know, gain skills etc. for interview and networking!

Good book recommendations on the basics behind M&A deals and the DD process? Asking for a friend who is looking to start a search fund and has operational experience but no finance.

ACCA and CPA qualifications. How useful are they in the line of consulting. I work in the M&A space focusing on FDD. Happy to have a chat to see what qualifications if any are actually useful in our line of work.

How’s the pay and WLB at the corporate finance/IB subsidiaries of the big 4 compared to traditional MM IBs?

How are Corporate Development and Corporate Finance roles different in Industry? Is one sub set of another?
