Alvarez & Marsal How does comp work at Alvarez & Marsal? I know bonus is based on utilization / collections, but how does that really work when you're executing against a SOW with a certain amount of hours budgeted. If I'm only budgeted at 70%, how do you increase your utilization to increase your bonus.

My analyst level take: you roll yourself on to more projects, that’s how you keep your overall utilization up.

Also just a heads, not every group at the firm is on that same comp structure - to my knowledge it’s only TAG/PEPI/NACR who share it.

The base targets for CPI are all really reasonable, it’s really less of a bonus heavy environment there. Even senior folks (anything below MD) tend to bill pretty full loads. A&M tends to not discount/have senior people eat hours as much as other firms I’ve been at.

I had my first round of interviews with Mckinsey last Friday. the first case was a disaster but the second case + both of the PEI were quite good. The thing is, my other lead progressed very well, it's also in the Private Equity space, an Investor Relations manager role, boring but good money. they pressed me to go through all the process by the end of the week but I won’t be able to advance much with McKinsey by then…Super stressed, what should I do?
