Thoughts on deciding between offers from two practices in the tech diligence space? I currently am an SA at PwC. Both of these options I would be lateraling in as an SA:

1. EY Parthenon Software Strategy Group
2. Strategy& Deals Strategy & Value Creation (Tech Strategy sub group)

EYP one, if the other one is EY

funny

@Consultant 1: Strategy& is the strategy consulting arm of PWC

Imagine 2 will have worse WLB. I’ve heard EYP is not doing great recently.

like

Interpreting your second sentence as a non sequitur - You’re saying S& may have worse WLB, but also EYP is not doing great. Is that right?

What are you looking to optimize for? Money is slightly better at S& and few of the folks in the team are ex-EYP
Also, EYP is not doing that well; ~70% of the folks didn’t get a bonus last year

like

Both of them are solid T2, though a few folks here consider S& slightly ahead of EYP in terms of brand recognition/ prestige.
I work closely with the tech team and I know they have a good team culture (+ better WLB than some other DSVC teams).

On paper 2 sounds better, for whatever it’s worth

Hello

SSG is best in breed for product & tech due diligence. There’s more structure and training in place, and exits are really strong (routinely to PE firms on both deal & ops teams, strategy roles at startups, etc). You’ll have more opportunity to work with top PE firms. Strategy& has a few SSG alumni in their similar group, but it’s smaller / newer / less mature than SSG’s practice

Im in SSG

I'm in desperate need of tips to get genuine buy in from our predominantly white, male senior leadership to create a more inclusive environment.
