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?

Just curious how many YOE of experience do you have? I'm trying to lateral right now to these companies

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.
