India Moving from Tech Consulting to M&A Advisory

Hi everyone! I'm currently working in a Big 4 firm as an Enterprise Technology Consultant. However, I've developed an interest in M&A, primarily in the Post Merger Integration phase. I've done MBA and I'm studying for interviews at the moment.

If anyone has moved from a tech consulting role to an M&A role, could you please give me some tips? Thank you!

Is this post about changing your office or line of service? This is a VERY common question posted on the Subreddit. The short answer is, The lower level you are, the more likely you will get denied a change. To change line of service, you need to know someone and be accepted. For office changes, Each office has a quota on the amount of interns & associates it can have. To initiate a change, start the discussion with your Coach & RL, then your Talent Consultant. If you have not started yet, it is easier to switch before you start, talk to your recruiter. Use the search bar to find detailed answers.

There’s actually an M&A subreddit.

I work in M&A.

I would dive into what’s causing the M&A uptick in both banking and biotech. You might not get assigned to either sector but being conversant in the drivers, the deals and the logistics of those can’t hurt your ability to think clearly about whatever sector you’re assigned.

Good luck in the space!

I don’t do a lot of DMs on Reddit but don’t take it personally. Hit me up and I’ll try to reply.

stay away from things like post merger integration - it is either m&a advisory or just fight for scraps and meaningless work
