I have talked to them before. It is a boom or bust kind of gig. Good years can be widely profitable. Bad years can be tight. High variability to comp if you can stomach it.

I thought it would be fun to go into the bankruptcy universe until they asked me to be a staff despite being a SM. Yeah no. It isn’t THAT interesting

Yup. You can’t expect a 1:1 experience equivalency going from audit to bankruptcy restructuring but reset the entire clock? F off.

Limited experience with them but won some work from them a couple years ago. Prior year returns had me scratching my head on several positions that needed to be addressed with client

Worked there as an associate! Comp was amazing - I made more as an A1 than senior 1. I’m still in touch with almost everyone I worked with there and there are a lot of smart people. However, it’s small so if you get stuck with a bad team then you’re not going to learn too much and won’t have too much of an out.

Tax. I went to Grant Thornton as senior 1 and basically got lowballed - salary was much higher but because of comp structure at Alvarez I ended up making more there as A1 than S1 at GT.

Recruiter from Amazon reached out for a phone screen for a L7 role st Amazon - Principal Product Manager, Technical. I'm a first year M and have been in consulting mostly. I do have the technical expertise the role requires but no product management experience per se. Think L7 at Amazon for me is a reach. My concern is if I interview and fail, I will be barred from interviewing from another role for 6 to 12 months. Should I give it a shot or save my chance for something more realistic (e.g. L6)?

Should I accept the new offer ? How do I tell the previous company about this? Also, I’ve already negotiated with the first company and the $115K base is the negotiated salary. I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏
