- What are the main differences between PwC's Deals Line of Service and Strategy& (i.e. PwC's dedicated strategy consulting element of the PwC Network)? In terms of type of work/services, industry focus, and interview process.
Fundamentally, the deals line of service is focus on financial advisory while Strategy& is focus on strategy type of work.
At this moment, in South East Asia and Greater China, Strategy& and Deals are a separate lines of services.
However, in other geographies Strategy& and Deals are combined into 1 line of service as their service is actually part of a value chain. E.g. Strategy to enter new market will involved M&A activities or M&A activities will be followed by a Post Merger Integration work.
Hope this helps to clarify.

And what does the interview structure look like (I am more familiar with management consulting companies processes). — am 1. Nov 2020
