Alvarez & Marsal TAG people in the LA, how often you need to go to the office? I know it's hybrid but wondering about the frequency of the commute.

For TAG in general from what I’ve seen across a few offices, most go in once a week.

Some D’s and above go in more than that to network, SA’s and below once a week to every other week, if ever.

That sounds great!

Hardly anyone is going in, especially since the building increased parking fees

I see. Are you at LA office?

I’m LA office- I try to go in every Thursday, can’t say I make it all the time though

Hmm that varies a lot week to week. My utilization is ~80%. Since our comp structure is based on cash collections (not invoiced), I also have an impact of projects from the prior FY that were collected this FY.

Overall, my hours are lower than when I was at B4. You get to manage your own projects here, you can say yes or no to new deals. You can grind as much as you want to get an insane bonus but you definitely don’t have to.

Hows LA culture?

It’s good, office leadership is inclusive, and staff generally seem pretty happy.

I have 2 offers 1. Start up 60 LPA EM role, 40K ESPOS , 2 . Well known public listed company 51 lpa ( Lead Role) 90K RSUs . I said yes to second after some negotiation. HR was not willing to pay more than this even though it is just 20% hike from my current salary. But I accepted the offer as i wanted it badly. Now I got offer from start up as well (1) , can i still ask her to consider the 2nd offer and pay me accordingly? Or it will lead to offer cancelation:(
