Isn’t Ankara a piecemeal of parts of other consulting firms that were sold off

Pay tho Berkeley at least compares very favorably and is known to have a good, collaborative culture. I can’t speak to Ankura

BRG plays well in the retail industry. Comp is lower than A&M but not sure by how much

Alix and Alvarez have higher pay, stronger reputation and contacts. Ankura is newer but on the table for most debtor side work. Culturally, Ankura culture varies per team. T&R is long hours, high expectations.

They’re in the kinda tier 2.5 of rx (behind FTI). I see them mostly on creditor side work which is a different skill set than debtor work

Berkeley has decent pay and benefits. Culture is dependent upon your service area. Some practices are stronger than others. Upward trajectory into any form of Director role is not easy. Very tough to do.

Thanks for all the inputs!
