Almost purely post merger work, many times involving IT. I would think B4 do much more interesting work within M&A, many people from Accenture’s M&A have moved to B4

I know PWC and EY are not doing more interesting work, basically most of the work they do is glorified PMO. I have less visibility into KPMG

Email me at fbburner12345@gmail.com if you want to chat. I’m in the M&A group so happy to answer some questions. We work across the whole M&A lifecycle and do not just focus on IT

A1, as A2 mentioned we do work across the full lifecycle. Are you perhaps thinking of our other practices outside of Strategy?
Not sure why you'd think Big 4 are doing the more interesting work either, perhaps Deloitte but certainly not most of them

Yes, agree, across the lifecycle, but heavily weighted towards the implementation stage. My comment around B4 doing more interesting work, is based on many consultants I know from the Accenture Strategy M&A practice who left for B4.

It’s hard for me to believe that the party of conservatives, which has historically stood proudly for important traditions, is now responsible for holding convention activities at the White House and having a Secretary of State engage in political activities while on official business in a foreign land. The window of opportunity to course correct, assuming it is still open, is closing quickly. Biden is closer to the Republican Party I grew up with than Trump is...

Hey all - 2 years in consulting so far as a fairly "type b" personality - relaxed, uncompetitive, enjoy socializing with my colleagues. To be clear, this is not the same as being lazy or irresponsible - I am diligent and do my work well.

Nonetheless I think we can generally say finance/professional services etc. reward "type a" habitudes on its face.

Thought it could be fun/funny/supportive to share experiences as the chiller brains in these anxiety-fueled fields.
