How’s work life balance in AlixPartners Org Transformation? How often do people work on weekends? How often do you have 50-60 hrs work weeks? Or more? Do you feel you can have a life outside of work?

It’s consulting. We get paid above market. Expect to be busy.

Weekend work is largely dictated by you. I’ve been in the OT practice for a few years and can count times I’ve worked on a weekend in one hand.

Monday - Thursdays are busy, specially if you’re traveling. 60 hours I’d say is about average. I do feel I get to have plenty of life outside of work.

Fantastic, supportive leaders and great people. I’ve had a really great experience here.

Org transformation is heart breaking…you have to lay people off in this economy…and it is not my favorite team (quite a few A-holes), but I think that comes with building a career in cutting jobs.

Curious why anyone would say that. It legitimately is led by some of the nicest senior MDs in the firm.

Is OT more diligence, optimization analysis, or guiding transformation?

Also is it like AP TRS where it’s super flat and there are no juniors below like post-MBA?

Yes to the latter

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
