Hi there,
Strategy& is PWC's strategy arm, and more prestigious consulting outlet. Means their projects are quite similar to the work MBB typically offers, while PWC is more operational / technical.
Now that said, yes, of course there is a bit of overlap when it comes to certain topics, like DDs. In fact, I've seen quite a lot of instances where project teams are actually blended with consultants from both firms.
Feel free to reach out via DM to learn more.
Cheers, Andi

Hi there,
PwC is a management consultancy so they're going to work more on the operations and low/middle level. Strategy& is a strategy consultancy and will work on the higher level (i.e. 3-4 week due diligences).
Ultimately, it's important that you talk to people specifically at both entities within your country so that 1) You can better understand their differences and 2) Network/get referrals
