Happy Sunday 🐠!

DTC - fad or future? I interviewed the CEO of Lively the other day (undies dtc) and she suggested it’s just a catch all term that will age out in a few years.

Where’s the best place to park while working/shopping in the Prudential?

When amd how to submit Medical report aa virtual joining is there. Medical certificate is one of mandatory document from TCS at the timw of joining

There’s a debit card that I’ve been using for the past 4 years and it beats out some of the cash back credit cards. It’s the Cash app debit card. I haven’t heard people talk about it in the card community and it could save people a bit of money - 10% cash back. I posted about it on my Instagram HerMillennialMoney if you want to learn my tips and tricks with the care.

Hi,

I am having total 4 year of experience. CCTC is 8.6 lpa TechStack is Java,Springboot,Microservice with Azure cloud

I have offer of 19 LPA from Optum which includes 2.5lpa variable

Today after HR round with Morgan Stanley they have given me the amount as 2365000 base + 141900 EmployerPF + 354750 Variable + 4.75 lakh relocation.

Now, I am totally confused which one should I proceed as the amount is also beyond expectations from Morgan.

Please help me in choosing one out of both of these.

I have been in production for 10 years but all of it has been done through my own production company (which was basically just me)

Should I just list the relevant projects instead of saying I have 10 years experience as a Senior Producer or Executive producer on my resume?

Can anyone provide a referral at siemens?

My practice got super busy after the pandemic. I have had a waitlist and been incredibly busy. It’s been stressful, but I have been grateful for business & to be helping people through a crazy time. This fall, I’ve noticed things slowing down and I don’t really know why. Has anyone else seen any similar trends (or know what might be going on)? TIA.

Even after you left the narcissistic ex ten years ago, finalized the divorce six years ago… they still come at you. My child who splits their time between us left his ID at my place… the ex calls the police stating I refuse to return the ID… will it ever stop?

Hi TWKs

Has there been a cultural shift or any other negative changes in Thoughtworks after bein acquired by Apax partner

Any Marsh fish willing to refer? I can provide more details in DM. Thanks!!!

Anyone switched from B4 audit to advisory (ex. management consulting, deal advisory)? How did you start networking / get the opportunity? Any advice?

A female friend of mine recently received a settlement in a sexual harassment action against her employer during mediation. Upon receiving her (female) attorney’s final bill she was blown away to discover that her attorney charged her almost five times what the attorney estimated she would charge for the mediation. (The attorney was drinking alcohol during the Zoom mediation and settled for far less than she estimated she would get.) [continued below]

Hi Fishes,

Are there any updates to physically return to Banglore office for work? Is June a hard deadline to join the office?

Any insights for KPMG Strategy - Deal Advisory within the Global Strategy Group (Experiences, Exit Opps, Salary)?

Hi 🐟,
My team is growing (Human Capital M&A space)...
- senior director level M&A lead role, responsible for people related M&A considerations from due diligence through integration
- Sr. Mgr level People and Culture team member focused on leadership, org readiness, and EE experience for acquired entities
- Analyst for our HC M&A team supporting a variety of activities across the M&A life cycle.
DM me if interested. Great oppty to join a growing team in a highly acquisitive organization.

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

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.

AM here with corporate finance (M&a) experience just moved to the US to marry my American fiancé but having a really hard time landing a job right now. Job apps that match my background and requirements almost always gets rejected immediately. What should I do?

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

Rookie question: Can you get ahold of financial information for Canadian and US private companies for light DD/early screening?

How would you rank the strategy firms in terms of their private equity consulting practices?

Recently left KPMG FDD for another FDD role at a growing firm and love it. PE focused. If you are interested in doing the same shoot me a DM.

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

Private Equity groups at Oliver Wyman, S&, and EY Parthenon have all invited me to interview. Alix Partners has reached out to build out the Galt Co acquisition. 1. Anyone else who is considering a move to private equity consulting, are you concerned with joining at what could be the peak of M&A? Are these companies being rational in such a hot market when it comes to hiring? 2. Any thoughts on the quality of these teams relative to one another?

Hey everybody, I work in Healthcare Consulting (9m of prior M&A experience) and have an upcoming PwC Deals Contracts Analytics associate interview next week, any PwC D&T/M&A folks willing to connect, share their experience and provide any insights for nailing the interview?

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.

Do you think M&A playbooks are needed for teams with a limited M&A capability?

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?

Any insight into TCS M&A group? They reached out offering $200k for an M&A specialist role and would be a significant jump from my current salary. Unsure what they do in M&A space since they focus largely on delivery vs strategy

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

I've been tasked with developing an M&A Integration playbook from scratch (I'm in industry and don't have the library of materials/templates you consultants have). Anyone know where to find a decent example, or resources online to help me build one? We will be bringing in consultants eventually to help review/validate what we put together. TIA!

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
