Hi Iman, thank you for your reply; it clarifies the main difference between the two. I would also like to know: can someone from an engineering background join the Deals line of service? And what does the interview structure look like (I am more familiar with management consulting companies processes).
I've seen people from non Financial background join the deals LoS. Not too familiar with the process, but I would suggest to prep for the basic of accounting and finance

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.
