Whats the general sentiment on tech M&A in 2023? Will there be more or less deals, smaller or larger? Or the same amount? Will there be more demand for M&A Advisory, or will companies bring in more in-house corp dev to handle it?

Please who knows about the advisory practice within the PwC financial crime unit (Canada Acceleration Centre)? I understand it is a client non-facing advisory role. Would it be a good career decision for someone coming from GRC firms like Kroll, Control Risk or Exiger? I am concerned about the negative reviews relating to the PwC acceleration centres in general, and getting stuck in a role which does not provide growth opportunities. Thank you.

Hi all, negotiating with HR on salary for a new AS position and want to know what’s fair. I was an AE for two years, took a promotion at another agency for SAE for only 8 months and am now being recruited for AS at 80k. All of my agencies have been large, I’ve worked on pharma and a large global account, I also started “managing” at the AE level due to my team’s structure. Is $80k fair? Thanks!

Where them 30+ ladies at? 25M 🙋‍♂️😉

In the interview process for a City Attorney office position. Is it ok to reach out to a current attorney in the office to get intel? For context, I don’t actually have a connection to this person other than I learned through the interview process that they too are from my law school. High likelihood that that person tells the interviewers I’ve reached to get intel. Is it OK/fair game for me to contact this person or not?

I’m at PE ops but I’m interested in deal work. If recruiters reach out to me before my 1 year mark should I take them or wait it out? Worried about how it’ll look on my resume as a “job hopper” or if my current team will be upset

Money isn’t everything but in my late 20s it feels like the only thing important right now.

I am currently in Tax Technology and was hoping to make a switch to FDD. Given the current market conditions and my overall lack of insight into the line of work, I was hoping for some knowledge and tips:

1) how's the current state of affairs in FDD? Has work slowed down?
2) What would the pay structure look like for a senior consultant?
3) Reference material to look into prepping for FDD?
4) Is there a line of preference over buy side vs sell side?
5) any other info is welcome

Thank you
