Hey hive mind! A headhunter reached to me about VP/SVP/Director opportunities at AlixPartners in EI or Cyber. A previous BAH executive referred him to me as a candidate. I’ve been in advisory and consulting for 10 yrs, am a Sr Mgr/Mgr type now, no MBA, have certs in cyber and management. AP seems great. I like cyber well enough but am not married to it. Two questions: 1) Thoughts on AP business and culture, and 2) Thoughts on which AP level I would be aligned to? Thank you!!

I spoke to AP about their cyber practice a few years ago. Their cyber strategy was poor back then - short term goals for how to create value were weak and their longer term plans were even worse.

Looking at their firm now....I don't see how cyber fits into APs long term strategy.

If I were going to guess....cyber is a short term money grab....I'd be willing to bet that it disappears or gets near zero investment once the leads figure out that they don't want to do tech work

We have a new head of cyber (who is awesome) and have shifted the strategy quite a bit.

BAH, AP culture is great. Smart people, a really big focus on getting things done, atypical delivery model and a different value proposition for clients.

SVP would be my best guess. Culture is fantastic, excellent WLB and actual recognition that employees are human beings is the norm. High standards for performance, but rewards appropriate to those expectations. Everyone I know is happy at AP.

Agree with AP2. Generally speaking, BAH will have MUCH better WLB. But comp will be higher at Alix. What do you prefer, OP, quality of life or $ ?

@ap3. In that case ....excited to see what the future brings for you guys

Digital, instead of EI, would be a good fit for you. The business unit is growing quite rapidly and not as big as EI, so might be a good place to explore

For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment. Also kind of bored because I am on one project for a long time and I want exposure to variety of projects. Is this a fair answer or would I be seen as arrogant? Is there a better way to frame my answer?
