If you want to do restructuring work can't think of a better place to be at. The private equity performance improvement and corporate transformation practices are top notch too. transactions advisory group seems really busy too but don't know if it's "actual m&a" work or just transactions services like rest of big 4.

Restructuring comp can rival investment banking since the hourly rate is so high for age/title. I regularly bill higher than partners at smaller firms and take home 25% of collections

Anyone in PEPI I can speak to?
