Is it worth considering a career in Restructuring Consulting in the long term given that their work can be quite cyclical and hinges on the spectrum of the economy.
Or have I misunderstood this? Are the teams always busy with projects?

Businesses are always divesting/reorganizing/rebranding/etc..
Think Fox selling off 20th Century Fox, Blackberry selling hardware IP and focusing on software, etc..
Think retail companies selling off brick-and-motor shops and shifting more towards e-commerce, oil and gas -> renewable energy, etc..

COVID just necessitated and/or accelerated the need for restructuring services for a ton of industries all at once if they wanted to stay afloat.

The team at my firm is quite small but they travel a lot. Perhaps they keep busy by covering a large market?

I’m interested in hearing more.

That makes sense. I’m actively considering this option so thanks for shedding some light on this.

I recently had an interview with a very promising pre-IPO company in the AI/ML space for a SE leadership position. The interview feedback was better than I expected, but with a twist. They have already given the offer to someone else, but they still want to bring me on board and they asked me what I would like to do. I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?
