Have offers from A&M PEPI practice.

Although have heard mixed opinions here ! People have mentioned that A&M has a great comp and at manager level one can make between 250-350k, on the other hand some people have mentioned that it is extremely difficult to make over 250k because utilization stays close to 60%. I also heard that the culture is cutthroat and one bad project can get you fired. They also mentioned that you are expected to work weekends. How true are these statements?

PEPI here. I can’t speak to manager comp but for my level, pay is good, and util has been very high as M&A is on fire right now.

I haven’t gotten the cutthroat sense of culture you mentioned, but you definitely can’t coast either.

Weekend hours are what I’d expect for M&A consulting - busy M-R, easier Friday, might need to log on a couple hours on the weekends, but you have some where you keep the laptop closed the whole time and others where you’re working full days. Just depends.
