Very significant turnover due to lack of jobs resulting in lack of staffing.

Super top heavy with lots of MDs and SDs all demanding research and POVs on opportunities that don't go anywhere.

Base Salary same as / worse than big 4 / others...the promise is bonus however without the staffing there is no bonus.

Very limited training compared to big 4. Much better place to join later on in career than at start.

Morale very low. Reputation still great however, people generally very nice. It's just not a restructuring market ATM. Go for performance improvement instead if you can (CTS or Pepi).

Appreciate the insight, so is it better to do restructuring at say PwC up until Manager then leave to A&M? What salary do you reckon that would attract

Thank you for sharing. I would appreciate a response on a few more questions:

1. Do you like the restructuring work? (given a normal project flow). Is it a place where you could stay for the long-term?

2. Based on the high turnover recently, what are the most common exits?

3. Any thoughts on the market going forward? Seems like A&M has been hiring aggressively

I have been a software developer (professionally) for about 7 years now, but I’ve decided to move out from that job and do something else (still in tech).
I don’t know yet what to do exactly, but I know I just don’t want to be only writing code every day.
Tbh, I am scared. But I have set myself one year to learn something new.
I also want to go for a job that pays more (55k€ currently). I live in Paris, France, and software developers are not well paid.
Any suggestion for a career transition?

Why do leaders keep comparing how “good”the new staff/seniors have it because they make more money starting out then they did and working 55 hours is better than the 70-80 hours they used to work? Instead they should compare what options they have available to them and what their goals are.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
