Has anyone known anyone or thought about moving into restructuring and turnaround consulting? (e.g. firms like A&M, Alix, FTI, etc.) I’ve been in FDD for a couple years but getting bored of it. How do comp, hours, lifestyle compare? I know there is more travel involved once things get back to normal but honestly sounds great after working from home for last 6 months.
