Depending on level, you will be responsible for sourcing, analyzing deals, managing FDD and other DD process, prepare models, and pitching investment thesis to board/PEG. If you get a lot of deal-flow from buy/sell-side brokers you will do less direct sourcing efforts. I made the jump and really enjoyed it. However, a lot is out of your control when you don't control the pocketbook... Also, the trajectory is fairly limited to becoming a VP and although pay is good (decent salary, good bonus, and equity) you somewhat top out unless you move to a large public company.

Wipro walo, I have joined on last month, 11th July. I am working in South African shift timings. I am entitled to get Rs 2500 per month as shift allowance, but I didn't get it for last month. On speaking to one of our senior members, he said shift assignment only takes place between 1st to 10th of every month. So it will be assigned this month and will also receive last month shift allowance pay as arrear. Is this true ? Where can I check whether my manager has assigned me a shift or not ?

One review mentioned it’s a “homeless shelter to autistic” so I didn’t know if it was code for something.

Also, any reviews on Vinz fishies can share? I dknt always Google reviews.

Been working in Big 4 FDD for a little under two years, interviewing past 2-3 months for FDD, strategy, and IB. Received an offer from a MM FDD group for a 25% pay bump, but mainly looking to pivot out as I’ve burned out of FDD and want to move into a more finance focused role. Currently moved into second rounds at a senior strategy role for a F500 and case study stage for two boutique IB’s.

Would it be dumb to turn down the guaranteed FDD role and see how the others turn out?
