Alvarez & Marsal Interviewing for an M role in M&A Alvarez & Marsal. Recruiter said base might fall between $225K and $250K. I’ve only ever worked at Big4 firms or in the industry. What would bonus look like? And how long might one take to go from M to D? Currently, M at Deloitte with 12 YOE (industry + consulting). Expect to make SM in 2023. Want to make sure giving up my network at D is worth it.

To clarify, I was trying to say that I have a strong network at Deloitte and so I think I have a good chance of making SM.

I’m definitely all about the money. No doubts there. Just want to know how much money if I make this move. The base itself isn’t life changing. At least it doesn’t justify a lateral move.

Your base will be 225k ? That’s not possible at A&M. The TC is bonus heavy.

That’s incorrect base. She’s mistaken. Expect 150k base.

A&M pays you a portion of your collected billings, bonus is hypothetically infinite

Good thing is that your TC can be way more than 225k ! Something to consider.

like

TC: Capture rate hourly rate * hourly billing rate * 2040 * utilization % - base salary

Capture rate: Neighborhood of 20% depending on practice

Utilization: May be lower than Deloitte - make the bear case ~60% here

Billing rate: not sure what M is, associate/sr assoc are ~$450

Here is a calc

My buddy is interviewing for a Director (M) role and the base they told him was much lower.

You’ll probably work more at A&M as compared to Deloitte. Getting paid for it makes up for the extra hours.

Can someone please confirm the exact hierarchy of grades at A&M? Is it Analyst, Associate, Senior Associate, Director, Senior Director and MD?

That’s correct, some business units have an additional level of Manager in between SA and M

Currently in risk consulting but seconding at an international bank for internal audit on trade related scopes. Recently got offered to join them at a higher level position. Need advice on career path of IA at bank if it's worth, because they pay would be gradually higher than consulting in the later years when reaching VP level and coming in from different industry, the new scopes are interesting.
