Domestic > OCONUS.

Don’t @ me. Idgaf. You know it’s true.

Need to also look at BB, MM, etc.

Deal advisory at big4 - you get more exposure to a larger range, quantity and size of deals. The flip side, you are focusing on more specialized aspects of the deal (i.e., due diligence, carve-out, integration).
