Hey consulting hive mind! A headhunter reached out to me about discussing VP/SVP/Director opportunities at AlixPartners in Cyber or EI. Context is a previous executive at BAH had referred the headhunter to me as a candidate. AP seems great. I’ve been in advisory and consulting 10 years, Mgr/Sr Mgr level, no MBA, certs in cyber and management. Not married to cyber but like it well enough. Two questions: 1) Thoughts on AP business and culture and 2) Thoughts on level at AP I might align to? Thx!!!

Hey BAH, see response below.
1. Culture at Alix is great! It's a bit different than other consulting firms. We have a top heavy model (diamond structure) and super smart people with some really interesting backgrounds. Work is pretty quant-heavy and recommendations are completely backed by data. Everyone from Directors to VPs gets their hands dirty with modeling and slide building. Also, our bill rates are among the highest in the industry (more than MBB) because we typically recruit only experienced folks who can immediately start adding value.
2. My best guess is SVP for EI, but you can pass off for a junior-level director in in the Digital practice, given your experience/certs in Cyber.

Happy to talk more if you have any questions.
