Hi all,

I have an interview coming up for the Assistant Manager – Integration & Separation role at KPMG in the UK. Would love to hear from anyone who’s gone through the process or worked in the team.

What was the interview like? Any prep tips or real experiences you can share?

I have a finance/FDD background and really want to do well in this.

Thanks!

Odds T2/Big 4 will follow MBB pay bumps?

Best consulting firms for PE work (CDD,Value Creation)? Looking for the best firm for exit ops to PE ops eventually. Thanks!

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role? My co-worker was hired in at manager level but somehow “proved” he was actually doing director level work and got a title promotion and salary increase in less than a year. I also went above and beyond my job as well (covering for him for a month while he was away on paternity leave) while taking on other projects outside of my job title and got zip—no raise or recognition. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi guys I am posting this again I have offer of almost same package from Accenture and IBM . Accenture offering is very slight more but that's not my key consideration. Which company is better in terms of job security, work life balance. That's the top most factor I am considering. Learning and project and latest niche technology is the other important factor after first 2 factors .

Hi what all we need to do before joining ? I have taken the print out of all the forms that we need to submit but do we need to mail them to someone or do we need to submit the hard copy of that.

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?

Is anyone starting at the London office on March 15th? Has Vialto initiated your visa process? The recruiter has been unresponsive

How’s everyone doing in this bowl?

Any vinyl lovers?

By when we can expect onboarding invite from IQVIA. My joining date is tomorrow, I am yet to receive invite. Tried contacting HR through call and email, no response.

What kind of modeling is required in ODD projects? What are u actually doing on the project? It’s described as M&A strategy ODD type of work

Hey all, it’s my first time managing an IMO, so I am heading up standing the office up, getting everyone on board, coming up with the day 0, 1, 100 plan, etc. Any advice from someone who does this stuff day in and out? Parthenon, DDV, etc.

Hi all. I am looking to crack into the pe value creation space. Any tips or recommendations? Mckinsey senior EM and LBS grad with some early tenor investment banking experience; currently based in the middle east working for a public sector infrastructure player.

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...

For those in corporate development, can you talk about the financial modeling aspect of the job? How detailed do you get? Full three-statement or something much simpler? 50 tabs or less? It would be helpful if you could say what size company and whether it’s public or private. Thanks!

hi all, currently have two offers:

1: EY - FDD, home city, very good $$ for FDD

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!

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

Does anyone have recommendations for thought leaders/influencers in the M&A space? Looking for blogs, books, YouTube videos? Not currently in the space, trying to learn more as I’m thinking about a pivot after a few years in consulting/startups

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.

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

How important is prestige for exit opportunities compared to actual work done? Will a big name firm always trump a smaller less known firm that your average person doesn't know?

EY-P is actively recruiting for experienced hires (senior - senior director) . We are a fast growing team and would love to bring more members aboard! If you have prior strategy / operations experience feel free to pm me to see if you are a good fit. Happy to refer.

Anyone from Strategy& Deals Strategy open to chatting?

I saw that your group is hiring again for entry-level (I'm currently a college senior - made fb account during internship). I really enjoyed my past CDD work and would love to learn more about the team. Thanks!

Any McK fuel people in here? Kinda curious about this segment in reference to deal structure. Is it all commercial debt?

How is Accenture’s M&A practice regarded relative to Big4 - PwC DDV, EY TAS ..

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.

Going to join D M&A IT. What can I expect? What should I prep for? How do you all update your technical knowledge?
