Anyone have insight into Deloitte’s M&A strategy, diligence, and restructuring group? What kind of projects do you see the most and what’s the culture like?

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!

How long does it takes for you to feel confident on what you are doing at FDD? Essentially I am not trying to stay at FDD forever but want to make sure that I learn all the necessary skills before I go.

I am moving from audit to deal advisory, where do you think is bettter corporate finance or TS ? And i am changing my certificate from ACCA fo CFA. your advice is much needed thank you

trying to make a move into FDD...any insight into how i should prepare, know, gain skills etc. for interview and networking!

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.

Anyone here that has exited to a retail mortgage or lending strategic in a Corp Dev / M&A role? Would like to hear experiences on work products, culture, etc.

Want to get thoughts culturally on A&M vs EY in general - as I’m looking at different practices (OTS, PE) but also anyone who has done work in different practices

EY -TAS , S&O . We are hiring. If interested, reach out...

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

Anyone from Deloitte M&A practice can chat about roles? I have questions in regards to M&A start manager and M&A integration.

Job Titles-Levels: what are typical career levels within M&A practices at your respective companies? For example, EY-Parthenon recently rebranded the following levels. Curious if this is industry norm. Manager became “Director” and Senior Manager became “Senior Director”

Any McK fuel people in here? Kinda curious about this segment in reference to deal structure. Is it all commercial debt?
