PwC Strategy& and PwC Deals are hiring Directors, Senior Managers, Managers, and Senior Associates to join our teams!

PWC deals strategy team, LEK or EY-Parthenon. BCG PIPE team, too.
CDD and VDD is like Navy Seal training. You have to learn how to stack lots of parallel processes, own the answer, knock out a Quant survey, TAM model, etc in 3 weeks. In a year or 2 , there is nothing you can't handle.

What's the comp like at the PortCo? Wouldn't consider that a typical partner exit unless you get coinvest or have something on the come from the exit
Why no go to an actual CDD shop/practice? Deals Strategy in PwC would be an example
PwC Deals Strategy is closest you’ll get to ibanking hours and culture with consulting pay. The pay is good, don’t get me wrong, but you’ll be working weekends.
🖐 ~60% PE work, more in non-LS practices, mostly CDD but some VDD/portco strat. Remaining is “growth strategy”, some human capital-type work too. Protected weekends are pretty serious - I’ve worked one weekend in the last year, probably average for pre-MBA level. Not positive on comp but I’d be surprised if we didn’t at least match PwC. DM for referral :)
Honesty runs the gamut and really depends more on industry. I’ve seen new product dev, portfolio optimization, customer segmentation, go-to-market strategy, you name it, across life sciences / pharma, medtech, consumer, industrials, even media.
What level and pay are you getting? What are you expecting? EYP pay isn’t that bad
Associate around ~90k TC. Would get a pay bump at EYP for junior levels and considering I don’t have an MBA, but wondering if the comp evens out with PwC in the senior levels / long run
Comes with the job - CDD’s burn you out quick
Are weekends generally protected for CDD? Or are you on call 24/7 per any live M&A deal

EYP CDD is mostly Mon to Fri and reasonable hours. Associate is $110-125k I think without an MBA
There are no due diligence teams doing 40 hour weeks. Ops DD is the least hours around 50-60. CDD feels more like 60-65 hours. But at EYP I generally haven’t worked weekends in 6 years
