It’s not nearly as bad as it sounds here, but also if you take a DDV offer instead of something that pays $50k more I’ll come slap some sense into you
Which one do you recommend for tech M&A practice post-MBA? EYP Deal Tech, Deloitte Consulting, Accenture or others?
F100 sounds better.
Personally would avoid DDV because of the work content (you’re essentially a M&A PMO resource, unless you do some ODD). MBB risk practices would like your credit risk and analytics experience more imho.
Layer on top of that a 50% delta in comp
I really cannot think of a reason for PwC DDV in your situation
Coach
OP - I have worked at several consulting companies over the majority of my career. I can assure you that you’ll have a huge disappointment with the DDV experience. If you must pursue consulting go for MBB or T2s like S& or LEK where the work is going to be interesting. The hours will be rough there as well but you’ll find the work to be far more engaging and interesting. DDV just isn’t the place for it. I would even say avoid Big 4 in general but definitely avoid DDV.
As someone who is in DDV I would say take the F100 job. It will be 5+ years before you can even approach $175k in comp. Is the training really work $250k? You could go get an MBA for less.
Coach
What training? You literally learn just PMO. Deloitte has multiple all day workshops. Pwc has one hour lunch and learns.
What you’ll learn can be read off two books.
Coach
DDV has terrible exit ops on top of brutal hours and horrible culture. You also aren’t very marketable because all you did was M&A PMO. I would take the F100.
I am ex DDV and all the things you hear about DDV are true. The only good thing for DDV were MBA placements and it seems you already have a T10. A T10 will get you into MBB far more easily than going from DDV.
