Restructuring shops like Alix and Alvarez place really well for distressed asset funds

You could argue S&, LEK & EY-P > BCG PIPE

Bain, BCG, Alvarez Marshal, McK, LEK, S&, EY

Exactly one of those is in the correct order

Bain>>>McK>LEK/S&/EY-P. Honorable mention for AlixPartners and A&M; they seem to work on the more complex deals in the space that involve restructuring of the underlying company, but generally it’s hard to figure out where they fit in. BCG doesn’t seem to care much about the space but I would put them around equal to LEK/S&/EY-P. This is all based on perceived market share

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.
