In talks with A&M to come over to their TAG practice from EY FDD as senior associate. Base salary is very competitive on top of the alluring "bonus" structure. 2 questions:

1. Do they normally offer sign on bonuses?
2. Is their any disadvantage between A&M FDD compared to B4 FDD in terms of exit ops down the road? Trying to look 5 years down the line

Would appreciate any insight!

Yes they’ll usually include some kind of signing bonus - varies by level. And looking forward to working with you 😁

A&M > B4 when it comes to TAG

B4 dabble in a bit of everything, A&M is much more specialized. Sure A&M dabble in more traditional groups like tax but those aren’t what it’s known for

You would have to compare the prestigious PE and investment banks against the less prestigious and in the case of clearview partners (who pays higher than Goldman) this case still holds true. So yes the less prestigious have to pay more than the more prestigious banks to compete for talent

If anything I’ve seen better exit opps here as opposed to B4. Can’t really name anything I preferred before I switched.
