I enjoy M&A work (currently ODD and previously FDD) but not the lifestyle/hours.

What are potential exit ops that provide better hours (<=60)? Recently promoted to senior associate if that helps.

In the exact same boat. Following

Internal m&a roles at various corporates. Maybe start by aligning yourself with corporate clients (vs PEs) to get a feel of how/what they do in m&a. Have many ex colleagues who exited in that capacity.

This is a good idea. I’d be very interested in trying a few deals with corporate clients vs PE.

Maybe a dumb question but do we have many corporate clients on the ODD/IVD side? I’ve only been on this side for ~1 year but I’ve strictly worked with PE.

OP how bad are the hours? 80-100+ per week? Any freedom on weekends?

Looking into M&A work myself

Various project to project but yes routinely over 80 hours with weekend work expected

About to finish my first year. I’m a specialist. Only going to hit 65% of my hours (took a 4 week vacation cause of wedding/hm).

I never say no to work and i have fantastic reviews, and the head of my practice (with whom I work a lot for) has great things to say about me.

I’ve been fully utilized starting ~June, but first few months were slow. Am i fine?!

Hi Fishes,

What is the avg and max CTC one can expect with total 7 YOE in IT operations (support) with last 3 years as a Senior Analyst/Team Lead?

I want to make a switch into the Consulting domain. I'm somewhat of a quasi-consultant in my current role, I like the Consultant job profile and feel I'm capable of doing well in this field. Also want to work at 1 of the Big 4 🙂. What are my chances - is it even possible for me to switch? How much hike can I expect?

Current CTC is 11L. B.Tech grad
