Is the PwC DDV practice actually as bad as it sounds here, or are people just venting? Have a Sr Associate offer in DDV ($120k base) v/s an Analytics consulting manager at a F100 product firm in credit risk ($175k base). From a pure career development and exit opps perspective, what’s the 🐠’s perspective on the better choice? Is the Big4 consulting tag + exit opps >>> $60-70k pay with bonuses? Also, is getting into MBB unrealistic from either/both (have a deferred admit at a T10 school)?

My firm paid merit increases to most employees, except me and one other individual (amongst the few people who shared this information). Therefore, this is not a company wide policy. Do I have any right in this case? It was paid out last Friday. Can companies legally do that?

Considering getting my license and starting off as a real estate agent. I've always loved real estate, house flipping, interior design. What can I expect as income and time commitment as a brand new agent with no book of business? How hard is it to get established and become well known in my area? I'm in the Bay Area. Anything else I should know before I quit my job and persue this dream?

What should I be reading or researching? First gen lawyer here, always been small firm. I’m at a 2 attorney firm now and was just approached about becoming a partner. The boss wants to clean up the books so I can review them and we can discuss. Other than professional connections, I have no idea where to turn for info/insight. I’m definitely interested, but obviously this is a big decision, so I don’t think a “partner? Sure, I’m in” is appropriate.

Which form of marketing (brand vs. product), does a typical Strategy Consulting role best prep for as a realistic exit? Also, between brand vs. product, marketing which is a more preferable exit?

Can someone share Uber program manager base and rsu? Would that role be l5

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?

Anyone have experience working in sales for a startup? What are things to consider? Got a recruiter contacting me about an open position very similar to what I do now, at a startup.

Hello Everyone!
Hope you all are doing great.
Can you please guide me how to prepare for @Google's interview?
Role: Administrative Business Partner

I have an offer accepted from Elevance 125k (Anthem) and w a good team and seems that WLB would be ok. Also, Amazon hiring manager wants to interview me for a job. Is just a hiring manager int. so obvi nothing guaranteed. Salary if offered will be more than 150k. My question is should I accept the interview and see where it goes? Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.

I just screamed at my dad and walked out of our home.

This morning I was trying to get feedback from him on a business idea and his response was: Maybe you should focus on your career since you didn’t get a job in finance and had to settle for consulting, and you work at Deloitte... it’s a sweatshop. They didn’t even give you a fast track promotion did they?

This is a regular thing and it’s the fucking weekend. I could use a break.

How much do we get paid

My onboarding in progress in CTS. I have registered with NSR(National Skills Registry) and provided the IT PIN to my recruiter. Do I need to raise a request for EBC(Empanelled Background Checkers) verification at NSR?

Does Nagarro provide any hike at time of promotion?

Is there any channel/page where the data science interviews are updated.
Or shall we start it here and share your recent interview experiences related to Data Science and analytics domain? It would be really helpful especially for those who are into transitioning.

Hi all! I got rejected from JPMorgan for their Global Finance and Business Management program (through my resume, couldn’t make it to interview). However, I’d reached out to recruiters and am meeting with one in a couple of days! Do I have a shot at turning this around? Or will it not matter once she learns I was rejected. Thanks!

Why is the ad community in London so cliquey?

Just been offered a manager position (people & org consulting) at a big 4 in Qatar for 24k (QAR). Based on previous threads this seems low for the region. Especially as 9k goes towards accommodation (max unfurnished 1br) ....Have I been low balled? Or is this normal?

How to access Nagarro mails on mobiles? Any specific application we need to download?

It’s Thursday night. That means it’s “wine confession” time for me. 😂 AMA?

Gosh i just posted on the wrong bowl how do i undo or move to this bowl? 😣☹️

Alright fellas, hims vs keeps?

I’m 25 and still have a good head of hair, but can see myself greying and feel like more and more hair is falling out every day. Not noticeable but have heard prevention is everything for this and am following the exact pattern my grandfather did, who had thick hair like mine and then was bald by 30.

Appreciate all you stylish folk and hope everyone has a great day.

Looking to upgrade the dress shirt game… bought my first brooks brothers shirt but want to see what else is out there as I don’t love the fit. Best advice?

I need advice. I'm a non-denominational, pretty moderate Christian. My parents are loving people, but also very evangelical and Trump-endorsing. It's a struggle dealing with their black / white views.

Why do private equity firms use M&A consultants?

Rookie question: Can you get ahold of financial information for Canadian and US private companies for light DD/early screening?

Anyone have good resources (online or book) to learn about the finance function?

What’s your favorite part of the M&A life cycle to work on and why? What about least favorite?

Is deal flow starting to pick back up? Just started as an FDD analyst and would love to keep my job

Any insight into TCS M&A group? They reached out offering $200k for an M&A specialist role and would be a significant jump from my current salary. Unsure what they do in M&A space since they focus largely on delivery vs strategy

Any insights for KPMG Strategy - Deal Advisory within the Global Strategy Group (Experiences, Exit Opps, Salary)?

If I want to transition into M&A from audit, what are some basic things I should consider?

ACCA and CPA qualifications. How useful are they in the line of consulting. I work in the M&A space focusing on FDD. Happy to have a chat to see what qualifications if any are actually useful in our line of work.

Align to non-M&A offering but do a lot of work in the space (DD, integrations). B4 recruiter reached out and wants me to provide resume@for review with hiring partner. Does it work if I provide a bio with summary of M&A projects (client names removed) instead of a traditional resume? Also plan to list education and previous roles.

hi all, currently have two offers:

1: EY - FDD, home city, very good $$ for FDD

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!

Alvarez & Marsal. How does one get a job there?

Recently left KPMG FDD for another FDD role at a growing firm and love it. PE focused. If you are interested in doing the same shoot me a DM.

What are the best exit opportunities after working in ODD, CDD, valuations for a few years? IB? PE possible?

Someone walk me through a typical day / week as an IB associate. Understand there’s a lot of hours, but are you actually working non stop or are you just expected to respond and fix things at any given hour?

Are you always jamming or waiting around to fix things coming from above and various parties

Anyone on pros and cons of A&M PEPI group?
