no one can answer this except for you; however you should be aware AP had a large restructuring a couple of months ago. A&M heavily depends on the sbu but would not recommend joining unless you have a client book. Happy to discuss privately if you're in talks with them

The needs of the markets are changing . Clients increasingly want tangible performance improvement and restructuring of the business which is why both AlixPartners and A&M should be able to continue to grow despite the overall softness in the market.

AlixPartners did not have a major restructuring - there were some performance based transitions only at the end of last year.

Graduating with PhD in comp neuro next year. I just did a week long internship at MBB to check out consulting, which I loved but ultimately will not be accepting my offer for life considerations (my wife also works at MBB and we have young children). It was amazing getting a sense of what the work actually comprises.

Are there any similar day-long or week-long internship programs for data science? Would love to test it out for a little bit to see what I like/dislike.
