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

Have a formal offer at Citi for 120K as an AVP in the NY office. Currently making 92K at my current role where I feel there’s not much room to grow anymore. Is this a fair offer? I currently WFH pretty much full time at my current role which has been amazing, but it seems like Citi would require me to be there 2-3 days in the office per week - and this is something I’m very hesitant about. Thoughts on how to approach this?

What is work-life balance like in big tech legal? I’m currently in house at a large multinational; I like my job and I get paid fine, with a very good WLB (40-45 hrs). I want to look into FAANG-type opportunities as they would mean a huge pay bump, and I think I’m qualified, but I have no idea about the hours, and I don’t want to substantially give up WLB, as that’s why I left BigLaw. I don’t want to be miserable again. I know Amazon is poorly reputed for lawyer WLB… what about other places?

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.
