Strategy& Deals vs PwC Deals Strategy

Hi adasdds, whoops, looks like nobody chimed in here.... maybe one of these discussions below is relevant:

More suggestions...

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...

There is a Strategy& Deals Strategy team that works on growth strategy and commercial due diligences and it is housed under the greater PwC Deals platform. But the Deals Strategy team is paid like S&, cross industry, and is pretty well regarded. PwC does have other deals team like DDV (M&A Integration).

The two teams don't co-exist. By that I mean, in some geographies (like the US) the team is Deals Strategy and reports up to the Deals platform. In other geographies, the team is branded Strategy& Deals and is part of S&. There are no geos where both exist, or where the names are used interchangeably.

This is largely an administrative distinction, not a real one - all of the teams, in all geos, fall under the strategy consulting umbrella so are governed by S& pay bands, promotion rules etc. They also pretty much all do the same work, under whatever name. So in that sense it's not different.
