Internal strategy in industry

Corp dev at an acquisitive PE-owned company, but you need to learn how to do deals (I am referring to the process) immediately. Will require a pay cut in the short term but if you do a good job you will quickly be able to negotiate a good comp package at your next gig after that. Or corporate strategy at a F500. PE Ops will not hire you out of consulting with only a cDD skillset so do not waste time there

I think CSA1 has described it well. After all these years in CDD, I feel like I only have experience in deals but equally not seen as the most value-add part of the deal cycle

If you learn how to build LBO models you can get a decent chance at lower mid market funds at analyst level and work up from there….if you want PE of course

Thank you! I’ll look into some courses on how to build LBO models

PE in house? Not keen?

Corp finance in a big company like big banks will give you more stability but less upside

Would you mind sharing which recruiter you spoke too? I would be interested in their services

I'm working in Tata Consultancy for last 9months. I got allocated to Deployment team in Kolkata. I'm a quick learner and it was my mistake to learn everything so quickly. I've been forced to work for 12hrs at least regularly. Also, I've been providing night support daily for production (yes!! Production is happening daily) but I'm not getting any overtime pay. My manager is not responding to my mails regarding my dues. What shall I do?? Will HR help me? I'm demotivated and I want to resign. 😞

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
