why cts blacklist any company any idea?
Can someone in the EY-Parthenon Singapore office tell me more about the difference between the role of a senior associate doing valuation in the strategy and transactions team and the generic strategy team? Saw 2 job postings with one specific for valuation, modeling and economics, and another for just the generic strategy team. Would really appreciate if I can reach out to someone to have a chat about this. Thanks much!

Assuming you have some social relationship, you might as well reach out now. Handle it however makes sense, meet for a drink or have lunch or just get in touch and say you'd appreciate getting some insight into their company. Ideally, your acquaintance could tip you off to openings that are fresh or anticipated.
I think it's totally fine to reach out now too. It won't hurt, and maybe they know of something that is soon to open up. Or they might help you prepare to apply for a position in the future if you get the conversation started now. I don't think there's any harm in applying now.
Conversation Starter
Especially if you feel like you have a good relationship / base, it doesn’t hurt to keep it warm or even strengthen the relationship. Reach out now just to catch up (and don’t explicitly ask for anything). Continue to stay in touch and consider reaching out when something opens up. The key is to not look like you’re just reaching out to them to make a connection then completely ignoring them afterwards.
