I gave an interview in Accenture and the manager wants me to move to Hyderabad,but I'm comfortable with the Kolkata location. I've cleared two rounds and now the Hyd manager is telling me that if I move to Hyd otherwise they will not proceed with my application any further. Can anyone suggest to me what can be done here?

What’s everyone’s favorite attire brand in the course? I grew up playing basketball/baseball so I’m a huge Nike guy but curious what others have found to be comfortable and good for performance.

I work in a firm that is known for litigation defense. I’ve been developing my own plaintiffs practice as well. I am able to pay the bills with my hourly defense work, which gives me time to focus on a handful of high value PI case a year on contingency. I was recently negotiating a case and was told part of the reason the claims rep/OC was jerking me around was because they didn’t see me as a plaintiffs attorney. Is there any way to change this perception or does it just come over time?

Hi all, I am a renewable energy m&a professional with experience executing buy and sell side m&a transactions on behalf of institutional and strategic clients. I would like to make a move out of Big D to experience working for another firm in this space. Does anyone have any idea which firms have a strong presence in this space / I should potentially consider working for in my job search?

Recently left KPMG FDD for another FDD role at a growing firm and love it. PE focused. If you are interested in doing the same shoot me a DM.

I've been tasked with developing an M&A Integration playbook from scratch (I'm in industry and don't have the library of materials/templates you consultants have). Anyone know where to find a decent example, or resources online to help me build one? We will be bringing in consultants eventually to help review/validate what we put together. TIA!

Is Assistant Director at EYP same as Senior Manager at Accenture?

Hi M&A professionals, please recommend between Deloitte M&A M vs Aon M&A AD. Both in London.

How long does it takes for you to feel confident on what you are doing at FDD? Essentially I am not trying to stay at FDD forever but want to make sure that I learn all the necessary skills before I go.

Someone walk me through a typical day / week as an IB associate. Understand there’s a lot of hours, but are you actually working non stop or are you just expected to respond and fix things at any given hour?

hi all, currently have two offers:

1: EY - FDD, home city, very good $$ for FDD

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone on pros and cons of A&M PEPI group?

Job Titles-Levels: what are typical career levels within M&A practices at your respective companies? For example, EY-Parthenon recently rebranded the following levels. Curious if this is industry norm. Manager became “Director” and Senior Manager became “Senior Director”

Hey all, I’m considering a position with KPMG’s Deal Advisory / M&A service line as an M. What are your thoughts on 1) work life balance, 2) business outlook, and 3) culture? The salary is very competitive.

Have the bi-yearly performance review with the partners coming up; what’s should my salary revision target (in %) be?

Good book recommendations on the basics behind M&A deals and the DD process? Asking for a friend who is looking to start a search fund and has operational experience but no finance.
