Is AAS/CMAAS, etc. any better than FDD in terms of work-life balance? I actually didn't mind the work in FDD, but hated how every deal was 3ish weeks max and how unpredictable it is. I've heard AAS is generally better, but can also be a nightmare hours-wise. Anyone have any color, especially if you've worked in both before?

You should look into finance transformation instead of CMAAS based on your response herw

I'm in AAS and in my experience, we don't usually have fire drills, and the hours are more predictable. I was considering a move to FDD and that is the main reason I decided not to.

Agreed. I get enough recruiters contacting me about m&a roles and corp development roles that I don’t see the need to go fdd for “better” exits.

like

Slightly more predictable, slightly less hours. Noticeable difference but not a lot

Way better hours

Better hours and less last minute requests that make you cancel your evening plans. I did a rotation in both when I started and that is definitely the experience in the 2 practices at least in my office. I chose AAS and I really like it
