Deals advisory at Pwc has a couple different segments. I would note that you can join these groups out of undergrad if they recruit for your schools but usually are a little more competitive, and often it consists of internal transfers from audit 1)Financial due diligence 2) Capital markets accounting advisory services 3) Valuations 4) Delivering Deal Value (more operational due diligence, realizing value post deal close) 5) Deals analytics (new, incorporating data analytics into deals) 5) Deals Strategy (I think this is Strategy& management consulting)
All aregood groups. As an accountant I would suggest looking at FDD or CMAAS. I switched over to FDD from audit and find the work significantly more stimulating

Deal Advisory at KPMG consists of multiple service lines, with the most common ones (for accountants) being Financial/Formatting Due Diligence (FDD) and Accounting Advisory Services (AAS). You can either go in directly from school or do audit for 2-3 years first before making the switch.

It varies between the teams within DA. If you are referring to Corporate Finance, an Associate is closer to a senior (2-3 years exp). If you are talking about other teams, associate could be entry level straight from university. If you want to work in DA it is most common for auditors with 2-3 years exp to transfer.
I’m in Deal advisory at PwC in the CMAAS group (capital markets and accounting advisory services) and it’s extremely common to be hired right after your masters degree into CMAAS. That’s what I did and there were 20+ people in my start class. If you’re interested, I would apply directly to CMAAS!
Technical accounting. Helping clients adopt new standards, creating 805 purchase accounting schedules in an M&A deal...it varies a lot
Some people in my DA start class never got a masters. Not sure if that was the majority. In Texas you effectively need a masters for your CPA so that was the norm here but differs by region I guess.
