Hi KPMG 🐠! I’m an M&A IT Manager searching for SM roles at KPMG. Could you tell me what the levels are at your firm. Also what do you call your Deals practice? I’m having trouble finding the role on the KPMG Careers site. Thanks in advance.

I just have to say how amazed I am at the helpfulness of the KPMG community on this bowl. Definitely have a good feeling about exploring this opportunity already. Thank you all.

Your looking for the IT Center of Excellence in the strategy practice.

Our levels are associate- senior associate - manager - director - managing director (non equity partner) - partner.

We go from manager to director. We have a deal advisory practice.

Just as a heads up, you’ll likely face being brought in as a highly paid M rather than an experienced hire Director. Unless you have a strong background to prove you can hit the ground running (sales targets, managed revenue...etc)

Thank you K4.

Is it two different practices for DD and M&A? Are there different groups of leadership?

Either way, how is leadership? How is the team and culture?

like

One team but it does seem to be getting siloed between DD and other m&a work. Culture is great. Everyone is very helpful, including leadership. Most of the MD/Ps can actually do the work too, which to me is encouraging.

Lmk if you need a referral, happy to facilitate! The deal practice is deal advisory and strategy. The role in which you’re seeking sits within the deals group. If you have any other questions, DM and I can assist

I can’t do that KPMG 7. And if you were kidding, that was funny. 😊

Are you more interested in pre-sign (e.g. ITDD) or sign to Close / post Close phases? We're looking for primarily pre-sign right now, but definitely open to strong resources who have a technical background and understand the M&A life cycle.

I would caution trying to come in as a director, expectations are that you have relationships with the other strategy or diligence teams and can help feed more work.

Thanks for all the inputs guys. I want to try my luck with a Director role because I don’t see the point of a lateral move. The salary bump will probably be minor and I’ll end up having to build my firm network from scratch. Too much pain for not enough gain IMO.

Need a referral?

So I’ve been scouring the KPMG Careers site for a couple of hours now and it looks like the role I’m seeking will be “Director, Strategy/M&A Execution”. The role, for whatever reason, is listed under 5 different requisition codes. I didn’t find any differences in location or industry affiliation. In fact the role doesn’t list an industry affiliation. I’ll DM you K2 about the referral offer. If anyone has thoughts on why the same role is listed multiple times, please let me know. Thank you again for all your help.

Might also be different industry focus

We are always looking for the right resources and are currently hiring. The one thing is we don’t usually except in very very rare cases hire people at a different level than they currently are at. Why do you believe that you need to be at the next level when you are not at that level in your current job is a question that you will need to answer.

Let me know if would like to chat or need a referral.

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
