Which PWC practice area should I be preferring?
I have prior experience in Healthcare consulting and I'm looking for a diverse experience. I'm applying for the Summer Associate positions in US, and I was hoping to get some guidance on the different practice areas.
I do not wish to be in teams that focus mainly on implementation or operations and would prefer consulting projects.
I have no clue what kind of work Delivering Deal Value M&A and other such practices entail.

Based on the choices you've listed, you should probably aim to join customer and work with the pharma life science group there. They do a mix of ops / commercial strategy / market access / commercial analytics, although there is some implementation work also (as you would expect from PwC).

Define consulting projects. PwC is pretty synonymous with implementation. Try S& Healthcare if that's on the table for you.

Thanks. And with consulting projects I mean mostly non-operational

They suggested that I give them a preference across these Practice Teams: Customer, Service, Finance, Operations, DDV M&A, Workforce Transformation, Data Analytics, Risk consulting and Leadership Talent &Org.

Could you help me with any suggestions on the kind of work, reputation, work-life balance and pay comp across these practice areas?
