I was just on one - it was not quant heavy, more focused on finding interdependencies and roadmapping the process to provide structure and promote value/efficiency

Highly dependent on module - if you own the baseline + synergies then you will be elbow deep in a model, if the culture work then likely less - all dependent upon on what you are doing

Thanks BCG1, that helps!

Agree with B1. Org is not quantitative. Cost saving can be. Totally depends on what you're working on.

I think the quant ratio varies a lot with which aspect / function you are dealing with and to some extent industry.

I prepped for an airline merger that wanted to immediately combine the routes and revenue management systems. My part was the underlying IT capacity which was not quant heavy, but if you were involved in the actual route algorithms / planning it might be. Headcount analysis might be heavier when they are doing mass reductions. Logistics / supply chain might have a lot. Looking at cross selling or other sales opportunities could also have a lot of quant, and if there is work to be done that is quant heavy by nature (big data etc.) then of course that part would be. Finance might have a lot if we are reconciling accounts across two sets of books, or carving out financials for a divestiture.

In my personal experience of over a decade of M&A IT work, it is not super quant heavy as consulting work goes. It’s a lot more about large scale change management and complex project and program planning and execution.

Thanks D1

Lol. I don’t understand why clients pay so much for PMI

Generally because it transforms every aspect of both companies in a rapid timeframe, there is no way they could do it internally, and the future of the company depends on it being done well. The timeframe for doing the work for Day 1 also does not generally allow time for a long competitive RFP cycle—they need to start immediately.

Fucking it up because you wanted to pay less would be very likely a career ending move.

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.
