Has anyone here transitioned from FDD to RX Consulting? Would love to hear your experiences. I’ve done FDD for almost a decade and I’m over it. I have an opportunity to move to RX consulting at my firm but I would need to take a step down in title. I’m not too thrilled about the step down but if I see one more FDD agenda, I may lose my mind.

I switched to Rx at a PC shop and work half the hours / half stress / 2.5x pay from being an SA2 in fdd. Highly recommend although there are few spots available so just have to get lucky on LinkedIn / recruiters reach out. I’ve seen some openings on LinkedIn but I was cold reached out to on LinkedIn

It’s way more interesting, often more stressful, and way higher comp in my experience

Not sure if it matters to you but I’ve heard they travel a lot more than fdd since they are typically working more hands on complex issues

Depends on firm and deal type (e.g debtor vs lender side). Lender side will almost never travel. For debtor side, travel can happen but it’s generally the exception at my firm.
