Is it possible to join a UMM or a MF from a Tier 2 consulting DD focussed firm (think LEK, A&M, S& Deals)? Any tips on positioning if so? Applying out of south east Asia

Are you joining deal team? You better be doing heaps of CDDs and be prepared to network - it’s one that isn’t a walk in the park even at MBB etc

If you want to join PE Ops sometime down the line maybe A&M works for you.

Networking will take you much farther. Find alumns of your uni at the firms / other common relationships —- that’s your best bet

And while you wait, shore up your CDD experience but also general financial modelling etc. You won’t come in as anything post-mba from consulting unless you are a real ace in the hole, so be prepared for that. All the best!

It’s feasible for UMM, but it’s more likely that you join a MM —> then move to UMM

I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?
