Looking into two offers, either director at A&M or manager at big 4? Both in private equity group in LA. Anyone that’s works at either of these have any opinions? Is big 4 tax better for resume than A&M?

Yeah the A&M comp difference is only for M&A Tax/GTT, core tax is on a different model

How are you liking A&M? Recommend over big 4?

A&M if you like money. Heard it’s harder to make partner there but you’ll out earn at every other level by a significant margin (assuming you’re client facing)

Yeah base comp, I think bonus at Alvarez is a bit higher

If the question is ever A&M vs. Big 4, the answer is pretty much always A&M. Hands down.

Tax is probably A&M’s lowest paid service line though. Do you know if you’d have a shot at their M&A tax group? They’re paid more like the rest of A&M (1.5-2x Big 4)

To be honest I don’t know anything about tax. But in almost every other area of professional services A&M is seen as a cut above Big 4
