Hi AlixPartners folks, can any of you provide some guidance on best way to prepare for an upcoming Red Carpet day? Specifically for the case interview and other standard interviews. Any tips help! Thx

Really focus on executive presence and confidence during the case presentation. If you’ve never read the pyramid principles, I would read up on that and follow that approach for my case presentation as well. You’ll get a huge packet of info for the case presentation, you don’t need to use every piece of info from it to do well.

Also treat your lunch like an actual interview (because that person will write a review)- be conversational and ask questions even though you likely won’t be talking about your resume ( in mine we talked about how to optimize Delta miles for the majority of it)

The cognitive test are really easy and the so-called “psych evaluation” is just someone with a background doing a standard behavioral interview.

For the other experience based / behavioral interviews really focus on impact of your projects (EBITDA Improvement), also be ready to a set questions like what kind of project could you slot into on day 1 and be productive. If you are a retail person this could be like COGS stuff, if you a Ops person a typical answer might be 4-walls manufacturing or a Operations due diligence.

I’m curious to know how much the case weighs into AP’s decision compared to all of the other assessments and interviews/lunch at the red carpet day?

During the Q&A following the case the directors mentioned they were really pushing me with their questions, so it was hard to read.

It's mostly behavioral questions. Just make sure you're brushed up on the projects you've done and what you specifically contributed. Get to know the kind of projects we do (check out insights section on website) and showcase similar client situations from your experience. Be nice to everyone you meet, including the ones who you don't think have a say in the end result.

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
