Hi all, I have got an offer with Deloitte M&A advisory (VCS) team. How do you rate it against KPMG’s Deal advisory- Ops M&A team. I am a Sr. Con at KPMG and is being offered Manager role . Any insights on overall work life balance. At KPMG its fantastic. So, just in dilemma because of work life, as compensation is getting matched here.

Don't go there. I came from there. Absolutely miserable work life balance. K has the best WLB in the M&A space. I have passed up some tempting offers from other places because at K I have good support, a great team and leadership actually cares about me as a person.

My projects at K have been equally as good and less stressful than at D. I have actually been able to take vacations whereas at D, I got dinged when I finally took a week off after working continuously for a year straight with no break.

Not saying I couldn't be tempted away from K, but D could triple my salary and I wouldn't go back. Now if they would quadruple it, I would work a year there and then retire.

I'll probably stay at K until the comp gets skewed way too low and then see if I can ultimately get better comp with at least a similar WLB. TBH though my comp is better here than D.

Is this also true for the london team?

WLB is going to be tough at D. (They do pay more though). You will have better projects at D. If you have great network at K and have started to build your brand there, I would suggest you stay if they are going to match your salary and bonus. Else bolt. K would drop you in a heartbeat if things go south. They are running a business and you should do what is best for you. There is no loyalty in this line of work

Thank you for the helpful inputs. My inclination is towards K too as I am getting a better WLB here which is unlikely in this line of work.

Come to Deloitte m&a consulting instead. It's rough but project and pay well worth it.

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
