PwC Deals Strategy

Hello!

I did a lot of M&A back in the day in McK, and we used to work a lot with the PwC team that you are recalling.

My thoughts:

1. Yes, sure. Tier 2 is always a good step forward to MBB
2. Yes, indeed, that would be an advantage, since it´s closely related to the topic they cover
3. Unforutnately, I don´t know

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Hi,

Answering point-by-point.

1. Yes it is. It is relevant experience for you also on the eyes of the top consultancies.

2. Yes it does. Both aspects ar relevant on the job. I don't expect they'll require complex/deeply analytical competences when applying. And I think they won't be needed once hired (e.g. modelling LBO transactions, etc.).

3. It is relevant experience, so they'll take that into consideration when you'll apply.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Antonello

Hi,

1. Yes. It is a good step forward and I've seen this happens many times
2. Yes. During my time in Strategy& I collaborated with them several times and their scope always focus on the corporate finance aspect
3. It will help in getting an interview, but you still need to pass their case interview

Hello there!

I would give "yes" to all the questions:

• it's totally possible to jump to MBB having gained the needed skills
• the focus is on both, finance skills are highly relevant
• such experience is regarded (probably not highly)

Preparing for the regular case interviews would help a lot, though there are some nuances Ian has mentioned.

Cheers,

Totally agree with other coaches's comments.

Also, generally you wont go wrong with the Deals practice of BIG4- its sort of their DNA trickling over from their audit practice.

Hi,

1) Yes. It's a client service business with a relevant skillset. Thus it fits for MBB

2) Seems like you have two questions in one. It's more related to finance and modeling and you need to have corporate finance knowledge

3) They will, but I would not put stakes on that. The hiring at finance practices is limited and it's more likely that you'll be hired as a generalist
