I want to build my career in analytics. I have offer from EY India, EXL and LatentView Analytics.
EY is more on the side of project management and process improvement in SaaS, as told. While there is hands-on in other two.
If I don't consider pay, which company is the best to go for considering work and culture(peope friendly).
YoE: 5
Tech Stack: SQL, Python, Tableau, PowerBI

This makes no sense. There are multiple roles in M&A, so it could be easy (integration analyst in corporate) to hard (PE) and everything in between. Next — What does math have to do with repetition? What does repetition have to do with M&A?
It’s highly unlikely you would be able to move in to PE for several reasons:
(1) Only 50% of PE firms take consultants
(2) Your communication is not clear
(3) Your background does not lend itself to modeling, operations or anything that a PE does
(4) Field is incredibly competitive
It’s also pretty unlikely you would be able to move to a Corp Dev job for the same reasons listed in 2, 3 and 4 above. Although Corp Dev is less competitive.
Go get your MBA, then maybe you’ll have a shot. But I wouldn’t bet on it.
Note: I’m usually very supportive of my fellow 🐟, but you clearly did not take the time to structure a post that helps us help you.
You’re right that the valuation / modeling aspect mostly occurs in PE or Corp dev. Most of the m&a people in big 4 are doing
Financial due diligence: quality of earnings analysis. Basically trying to figure out normalized adjusted ebitda
Accounting advisory: how will a potential transaction effect earnings prospectively due to accounting adjustment
Integration / separation: how to you merge separate companies effectively
Operational due diligence: how much cost can you take out of business, what can you do with pricing, what is the effect of harmonizing benefit plans
I think Deloitte has the largest practice, but we also run into BCG a lot and partner with them at clients. They'll do the overall strategy at the C-Suite level and we'll do the functional work that has a bit longer tail (pre and post merger integration). I see some PwC as well and Accenture in the IT function.
So confused.... do you mean due diligence and valuations or M&A?
Referring to PE and corporate type of M&A that deals with mostly valuation analysis, dcf, lbo. Sell side or buy side.
Thanks kpmg1 so do you think it’s possible for me to move into that area with my profile?
Im actually referring to m&a within consulting. There’s no need to be condescending. Some of you guys need to get a life. Extremely surprised that some of you are in leadership positions with how immature and unprofessional you are.
In your previous post, you say “Referring to PE and corporate type of M&A”
OP, if you want to do M&A at a Consulting firm, chances are, you’re looking at doing either financial or tech diligence. It’s not hard to get into at all, in fact, there are a few smaller firms that are quite good at it with easier lifestyles and better firm cultures out there. Good luck.
Thanks m1- can you tell me the name of those firms?
S1 yes I did but I was on various consulting websites and that the verbiage they used but I realize I didn’t tee it up by saying providing those type of services as opposed to working in those industries
Top M&A firms: BCG, McK, Bain (for diligence), PwC Deals, Deloitte
Small firms like West Monroe Partners also does a decent job.
