Do those positions pay well?

What does the day to day look like?

I took calls from recruiters before the job market fell apart. They would pay better in the short term and work itself sounded interesting but I couldn’t figure out what the job after would be or if you just end up as a lifer in back / mid office PE world

These roles are not well defined. Do extensive research beforehand.

If other firms are higher, I might consider jumping boats because 7%, even mid pandemic is a slap in the face. Especially for someone who exceeded expectations.

Since I do expect a slow down to occur in the short term, and I've noticed other firms pushing people to audit and other services with need, would it be rude to preemptively reach out to restructuring partners before my firm pushes us to audit? I really don't want to work in audit like at all. I'd prefer to stay in FDD, but I'd much prefer restructuring over audit
