Undergrad in desperate need of advice. Have full time offers from Kearney and Roland Berger. Interested in PE/M&A work. I feel like Kearney is a great cultural fit and a strong name - the safe option. Roland is promising me tons of international travel and strong CDD work. Not sure what to do/consider. Any advice appreciated.

My two cents on Roland’s promise? Promise isn’t worth the paper it’s written on, once you sign the dotted line they will use you as the business needs it

Lots of international travel at K if you want that.

What does international travel prospects look like at Kearney outside of PE work?

Feel free to DM me but Kearney sounds like a better fit for you.

And that’s why I asked. Here in the US we do a done of DD work. CDD, VDD, ODD. Lots of transaction support. And not many people want to do it. So if you’re interested, you could probably be staffed on it nearly 100%. However, typical commercial due diligence work rarely involves travel. Operational Due Diligence involves lots on plant visits. But think about where manufacturing plants are typically located.

Spot on comment on the location of the plants hahah. I was sent to a god knows where area in Asia🤣🤣

It really depends on the geography you are in. Here in Europe we are doing a large number of projects in PE, including tons of DD with interesting funds and companies in different industries. I suggest you to investigate further on the local units of both companies.
On the company, my 2 year experience in Kearney has been great! Learnt a lot, grown a lot but also worked a lot. Nice people, good clients and interesting projects! I really suggest the experience.

Not in US but I have worked in countries in Europe different from my office location. I’m based in Italy but I have also done projects in Greece and Germany. Plenty of traveling opportunities if you are willing to take them.

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?
