Alvarez & Marsal Alvarez & Marsal Can anyone speak to associate salary for the disputes and investigations practice? If you could shed light on the makeup of TC and WLB (i.e. typical hours worked) that would be great!

Coming from Big4, salary seems like the relevant figure here as bonuses in Big4 are not impactful, especially at the associate level. In Dallas, the associate salary in D&I is maybe something like $65-70k. So nothing too impressive, but the bonus potential is uncapped. So A&M has associates who will make $70k salary and $25k bonus. WLB depends on your team and how busy your partners are. But remember. The busier you are will directly impact how large your bonus is at the end of year.

Can be true. To be honest D&I is probably not as bad. But other practices like restructuring and PEPI are probably more cut throat. It really depends on the partners you work for.

Also, in Big4 (audit), my director wasn’t even making $200k. He’s as close to partner as you could ever be. And he doesn’t even make $200k. At A&M you could make that as a manager or even senior associate. The SDs can make up to like $400k or $500k on a good year without even being equity holding. In Big4 you can never touch those numbers except for super rare circumstances in Advisory. And if you’re like “well life’s not all about money”. Hey that’s fair. There are easier jobs out there with better WLB
