Question about Exit Opps from Deal Strategy/Strat Consulting
Hi guys
I have an offer from KPMG Global Strategy Group - Deal Strategy. My career goal is either to move into Investment Banking after a few years or directly into Private Equity. How do you guys rate the following position in terms of exit opportunities? This is a position in Europe.
- Participate in various projects in the deal strategy space: portfolio review, operational / carve-out / commercial due diligence (sell side & buy side), JV strategy, integration / separation planning and execution, synergy assessments.
- Perform analyses on a broad range of operational, financial and strategic deal aspects and at different deal stages (due diligence, signing preparation, pre- and post-closing assistance)
- Interact with various client and deal stakeholders through interviews, on-site meetings and workshops
- Provide high-quality deliverables under tight deadlines
- Support client proposals and other business development activities
- Participate to various activities related to the growth of the strategy team
Thank you very much for your valued answers
Cheers

I would really appreciate any response
If you're not at MBB, deal strategy is the best group you can be in for PE exits. You can certainly exit to IB if you learn accounting/financial modeling. You could maybe exit to PE, though unfortunately KPMG has a weaker brand for PE exits than PwC S& and EY Parthenon (as far as Big4 firms go). You are in a fine position.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
I have a Finance Master and already 6 months PE experience through an internship. I also have a PE offer from an internationally unknown (but locally very well known) asset manager which has a Directs team (co-investments / minority investments up to a maximum of 20% from a transaction value of minimum 5m).
- Is the KPMG Global Strategy Group / Deal Strategy brand really that bad? In our country, KPMG is one of the leading address in the FS area.
- I can imagine taking on a management role in AM/IB/PWM at a BB in the long term or continuing my career in Private Equity.
What would you do with these options?
Thank you so much!
Would like to clarify would Deal Strategy team be a better position than Transaction Service if my ultimate goal is to move into PE?
