Hi Soumya
I don't think there are a lot of experts in Deal Advisory on this forum but for questions like this I always encourage candidates to go back to the recruiting team and ask them!
They know your background and are still keen to interview you which means you don't have to hide your lack of expertise in deal strategy. So my suggestion is as follows:
1) Research whatever you can online about PwC's Deal Advisory team and what they do
2) Write to PwC HR asking how the interview will be structured, what they will test and if there will be any technical questions related to deal strategy
3) Do practice some cases on deal strategy with an experienced coach
Finally after doing all the above - consider why you are still keen to join the deal advisory team and make sure to have a good motivation answer ready
Best of luck !

I would expect the interview much more like M&A interviews, i.e. more technical question on topics like valuation approaches, valuation technical questions, M&A deals, rationale for transactions. Regarding the stratgy and operations part I would expect questions around strategic rationales, due diligence and key DD areas as well as the M&A process and operational improvement potential. — Florian on Aug 05, 2020
