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

Considering leaving to take a partner position at a small firm. Is it worth it? Would only be 2 partners with a staff of 10. Comp would be 250k on the low end and probably top out around 350k. Would take 3-4 years to get to this level of comp as would be buying 10% per year up to 40% of the firm. Am I stupid for not taking this? Currently manager making 125k. Comp first year as junior partner would be 120k with 10% ownership.
