Happy Saturday 🐠!

Hello Fishes,

Anyone from Zen n Art, how's the company? I have got an offer and the client is PwC

What do you bring to a bridal shower? First one this weekend as a guest. Bride doesn't have registry, okay with cash gift. How much do you usually give?

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

Ex consultant, currently in industry. BCG HR contacted me for a role, process was a lil messy and unprofessional. Still waiting for the “exploratory chat” she was supposed to set up with the MDP since 2 weeks ago. Texted on whatsapp but no response. Normal?

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How to not let this toxic co-worker not poison me any further?

My Fiance wants to get into marketing. We're moving to Florida from Japan in July and she is Filipino with a communications Masters degree but has mainly only taught English for years.

Is there any advice on how to get an entry level marketing position and what the starting salaries are like (preferably in south florida)?

For those of you on medication, how do you manage delayed flights causing you to miss appointments? Often, cancellation policies are strict, expensive, and require several days notice.

Best deal toy / tombstone ever?

Hi... Anyone joining at UBS this week or next?

I’m doing a cs degree rn & I want to be an appsec engineer but I’m not sure which is a better path for growth: Path A: SMART scholarship which involves a 4 year gov commitment after college grad. But they offer a stipend and full cost of college (I already covered cost of college)
Plan B: Or should I just go for a private sector job straight out of college and hope to get internships while in university.

Hey! Firstly need 11 likes on this post. Please help me. :)

Secondly I’m looking for some accommodation options in Hyderabad. If you have any leads, please let me know.

Thank you!

How much did everyone spend on their wedding planner? We’re planning a Fall wedding in Europe with ~80 people and want a full service planner, have been quoted 9-15K and want to see if this is reasonable! TIA

Did you do any self care the night before your wedding to prepare for the big day?! 🤍

Hey all, I’m considering a position with KPMG’s Deal Advisory / M&A service line as an M. What are your thoughts on 1) work life balance, 2) business outlook, and 3) culture? The salary is very competitive.

Anyone have insight into Deloitte’s M&A strategy, diligence, and restructuring group? What kind of projects do you see the most and what’s the culture like?

Do industry professionals involved in M&A sign to close and integration work long hours too or do they peace out at 6

Is deal flow starting to pick back up? Just started as an FDD analyst and would love to keep my job

Man PwC PEVC is poaching KPMG Strategy folks like crazy! Recruiters are swarming the DMs out here. Does this mean that the good natured roasting that KPMG Strat gets is just for jokes and in actuality we’re actually well respected professionals? I’m actually very impressed with the practice and everyone I’ve worked with and I feel as though clients really gravitate towards us as well given the positive numbers this year. Jw what our true reputation is out here on the streets is all

Do you know of any opening or opportunity? Share it in the comments below!

Help another Fish. 🤝

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 ?

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

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.

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

Anyone have good resources (online or book) to learn about the finance function?

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.

Ok, what does ‘F’ mean

How long does it takes for you to feel confident on what you are doing at FDD? Essentially I am not trying to stay at FDD forever but want to make sure that I learn all the necessary skills before I go.

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

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

What’s your favorite part of the M&A life cycle to work on and why? What about least favorite?
