I think A&M would be your best bet especially you have a big four on your résumé. I have heard many things about the work life balance so I don’t know how your work life balances.

Eym heard many things? Good or bad things?

OP is looking to leave transaction advisory lol. But everyone is telling them to go a&m to do the same thing.

S3s at EY already make 140-150k all in

S3 and under 140-150? Run, don’t walk, to Alvarez & Marsal

A “down” year for a senior there is 165-170
