Really looking forward to the holidays and hopefully some downtime.

I have been searching for job from quite a long time and all I have seeing HR/Panels asking for
1. Number of implementation projects done.
2. Work experience on S4 Hana.

And if I don't have atleast any one of these, I will not be considered.

Is it really that important ?

Being joined as a fresher - Is it really something that I can decide whether to be in support or implementation project ?

Is upgrading of ECC to S4 Hana in my hands ? And the difference is really that vast ?

Hi Fish,

I attended the interview in cognizant. But i didn't get any feedback of my interview. So, what should I do? Also, I dropped the Mails to recruiter. They did not reply on that.

I wonder if we’ll still have minimum billable hours if WWIII breaks out

Hi,
Can i get reimbursement for multiple wireless earphones in WFH Allowance provided by ZS Associates??

Anyone who can confirm this??

Writing annual goals. What are examples of how to write “quantifiable” goals as a consultant? Are you measuring number of relationships built, projects, or something else?

Most of consulting is advising on solutions to problems, but I don’t control the outcome, whether the advice is implemented, or the budget. Sales is easy (e.g. “sell $2M of products/services this year”) because there is a clearly defined measurement. What can consultants measure?

Just finished watching Downfall, call me naive but it amazes me how not one person got jail time.

Are there any 4th and 5th grade teachers who DRA2 test? Do you find it appropriate? we over assess our kids and there isn’t a lot of movement. I have so much to do as an ELA teacher in a tested grade

The left is the Prius driver in the far left lane going 55 mph on a multi-lane highway holding up multiple drivers and causing traffic (making things worse for everyone else).

The right is none of the above, wants everyone to succeed, and get to where they need to go.

Company wants me to take a base cut because they want me to move into more of a BD role where target bonus is 50% vs current 20%. Going to push back pretty hard

Hi Fishes.
It's been a month of joining Brillio. Can someone help me with the Project Allocation Process followed here.

My daughter is a recent graduate, in English Major, lives in NY and needs advice on career. I mentioned that she could do with having someone as mentor and of course someone local would be far better than someone remote and outside NY area. Any suggestions welcome!

What are some good personal finance books?

Getting out of mandatory learning courses because of my leave of absence! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻

I joined Capgemini on 15 th September. But didn't receive salary. Can someone please help on this. When can I expect that.

Has anyone faced this that Capgemini HR expect you to respond fast till they collect documents. After that they stop responding. This is frustrating and funny as in why to waste everyone’s time

Is Capgemini Bid Manager for IT and Cloud a good role??

Level C1:C2 What should be an ideal package??

Any way of being in Ey s&o and being local? As in, is there a team that mostly does projects that are local (NYC)

Ok, what does ‘F’ mean

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

General practice or specialized center of excellence (CoE)? KPMG Strategy has certain CoEs, one of which I am part of. The TMT general practice hints at wanting to bring me over. What are the pros associated with becoming more of a “generalist”? I’m current in the technology CoE. M level

Anyone have any insight to what it is like working at M Klein Investment Boutique? Any insight, I know it’s banking so I am not unrealistic, but any honest feedback or things to be careful of would be awesome.

I've been tasked with developing an M&A Integration playbook from scratch (I'm in industry and don't have the library of materials/templates you consultants have). Anyone know where to find a decent example, or resources online to help me build one? We will be bringing in consultants eventually to help review/validate what we put together. TIA!

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

Hi 🐟,

- Sr. Mgr level People and Culture team member focused on leadership, org readiness, and EE experience for acquired entities
- Analyst for our HC M&A team supporting a variety of activities across the M&A life cycle.
DM me if interested. Great oppty to join a growing team in a highly acquisitive organization.

AM here with corporate finance (M&a) experience just moved to the US to marry my American fiancé but having a really hard time landing a job right now. Job apps that match my background and requirements almost always gets rejected immediately. What should I do?

Any CDD / M&A Strategy fish willing to chat?

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.

Do you think M&A playbooks are needed for teams with a limited M&A capability?

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.

Man PwC PEVC is poaching KPMG Strategy folks like crazy! Recruiters are swarming the DMs out here. Does this mean that the good natured roasting that KPMG Strat gets is just for jokes and in actuality we’re actually well respected professionals? I’m actually very impressed with the practice and everyone I’ve worked with and I feel as though clients really gravitate towards us as well given the positive numbers this year. Jw what our true reputation is out here on the streets is all

Has anyone done an M&A case study for a Corp Dev position? My interviewer told me it’s going to be a 5hr case study and I am a bit scared...Anyone knows what to expect in these?

Does anyone have recommendations for thought leaders/influencers in the M&A space? Looking for blogs, books, YouTube videos? Not currently in the space, trying to learn more as I’m thinking about a pivot after a few years in consulting/startups

Private Equity groups at Oliver Wyman, S&, and EY Parthenon have all invited me to interview. Alix Partners has reached out to build out the Galt Co acquisition. 1. Anyone else who is considering a move to private equity consulting, are you concerned with joining at what could be the peak of M&A? Are these companies being rational in such a hot market when it comes to hiring? 2. Any thoughts on the quality of these teams relative to one another?

How would you rank the strategy firms in terms of their private equity consulting practices?

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