Hi PwCers: have an intro call coming up for a deals strategy role within pwc. Have more of a financial diligence background but have worked on a few large transactions where I worked closely with CDD. Any tips on how to best position myself in the intro calls?

Also what is the difference between Deals Strategy between pwc vs S&? The descriptions seem fairly equal to me.

Any input you can share on potential comp for HCOL at the SC level would be helpful as well. Thank you!

It will be S& pay band, Deals Strategy seemed to 🔥 many people last 12mo, hiring might be a result of attrition. Position the breadth of deals, data acumen, external research/interviews, etc. This work is not a rocket science, so those skills and willingness to work hard should help
