Private Equity groups at Oliver Wyman, S&, and EY Parthenon have all invited me to interview. Alix Partners has reached out to build out the Galt Co acquisition. 1. Anyone else who is considering a move to private equity consulting, are you concerned with joining at what could be the peak of M&A? Are these companies being rational in such a hot market when it comes to hiring? 2. Any thoughts on the quality of these teams relative to one another?

You are getting considerable traction — congratulations!

Not too concerned about joining during the hype at more conservative shops like Alix. They manage growth well and they hire for competence. A little more concerned at some of the larger shops like S& and EY-P since they have historically laid off after bulking. But as in any place, if you are technically good and political (very important for the larger shops), you’ll weather a downturn fine.

One of the dumbest analysis by a consultant OP

Funny - I think I might be interviewing with Kaiser. How has your experience been OP?

I can second the KX advisory aspect and the mobility. I had a colleague from a previous firm join them, and their work is strong! Only problem is the brand, but every boutique has a “brand” problem compared to the big players

Shoot for A&M too!

Agreed, A&M is great and grows conservatively and meaningfully.
