Deloitte often manages to out-douche even S& and let me tell you, that’s impressive.

@DD2 please at least use the & instead of n if you’re going to act like an asshole. Being pompous is one thing but adding dumb is a bad look

Op. Congrats! Welcome to the world of project management! I know Deloitte gets a bad rep here but their partners have written some fantastic books on M&A integration. Happy to share those with you, if you’re interested

Dd2, do you even do M&A? Pwc’s deals practice is solid.

People from the Big 4, inc Deloitte DD2, who are claiming their firms do M&A, be grateful that this is an anonymous forum! People will laugh! M&A teams in the Big 4 work on low value deals that no proper investment bank is willing to take- and your career is not going anywhere either!

If you have a Financial Times subscription they have a fantastic deals newsletter than comes out 4 times a week.

Which firm are you joining, OP?

That’s awesome thank you

Deloitte is the only firm that does MNA well in the Big 4. The rest of you are just posers who mess sh!t up and then we have to fix it.

That is the most cringeworthy response I’ve ever read on this app

"7 tenets of integration" sounds so boring
