A couple questions for the turnaround consulting fishes:
1. Is FP&A experience valuable for restructuring/turnaround consulting? I’m a CPA with experience in Big 4 FDD and a short stint in IB. Total work experience is a little over 2 years. I recently joined a RE company as a Sr FA in FP&A where I expect that I’ll be mostly doing budgeting & forecasting work.
2. If my goal is turnaround consulting, what should I focus on right now to best position myself?

I appreciate any insights/guidance.

CPA And FDD experience IMO is probably most valuable in terms of pivoting into turnaround consulting. Lots of jobs available in Rx - keep networking and looking. Good luck!

Thanks! If you don’t mind me asking, are you currently in RX? If so do you have any insights to the rx market now and in the next year or two? From what I understand, rx has been super slow for the past year or so now. Just trying to get a gauge on timing to break into the industry….

Yes I'm in RX and it's booming for sure

I work at an manufacturing company as a technician. My job title is a technician but they use me as an engineer as-well. There are three techs overall in the company. My boss who hired me understands what my degree is in so he uses me to design parts and write reports. The plant manager doesn’t know my skills so anytime I’m in the office working he calls me to the floor to do something the other techs can do. Should I have a talk with the boss about it? (I ran out of characters)

Is it true that restructuring/turnaround engagements can get very hostile given the type of work this industry is in (distressed)? Management not being cooperative, overall environment very depressing, internal politics, fraud, management not being cooperative, pressure to deliver quickly, debtor/creditors screaming at each other, etc. Understand this may vary project to project, but is this common?

Am currently not in restructuring but am looking to enter in the future.
