Alvarez & Marsal Realistic exits from Houlihan or A&M FDD? On par with Big 4, or are these firms more of a (well-paid) destination for FDD lifers instead of a stepping stone to industry?

HL comp is no where near AM

Thanks, mostly looking to see where FDD folks have left to after working at these firms. I know comp is potentially higher at A&M but I’m sure people have compelling reasons why they are at one firm over another.

In general, F100 prefers the B4 brand name. Beyond that, exit ops should be very similar.

D2 response killed me “tell me you don’t know HL without telling me” 😂😂😂. Agree with all the other comments, if you are in B4 for a couple years you will have a strong network to industry.

So HL exit ops are just as good as Big 4? Looking to make the jump into MM IB or better.

Nice!! Would you be open to connecting some time to pick your brain more on your experience?
