What would you do: Be an SC in a Big 4 M&A Consulting practice (recently promoted), or take an offer from A&M/FTI/Alix in their M&A Consulting practice as an experienced C, with a promotion timeline of next March (pay would be higher than Big 4 but one level lower)

Take the higher comp, titles do not matter.

Nothing matters but path to partner. Everything to that point is a rounding error

Take the higher pay

like

A&M / FTI / Alix. Not only due to immediate pay bump but also future pay scale increases (which will have a greater difference) and more interesting / high profile exit opportunities

Higher chance of Rx / PE / family office; most likely better levelling within focus industry alongside greater breadth (eg. corp dev / strategy & ops with PE-backing)

Take the comp at Tier 2. I’m a manager and honestly considering options to go down to SC and still make more at a Tier 2 …

I went from non-strat M to strat SC. Comp is as though I moved to SM and the performance bar and standards are also higher.

I have a great opportunity on the table that’s currently work remote with the end goal of returning to the office 1-2 times a week when it’s safe. However, after the past couple months, I don’t see myself returning to live in the big city. Has anyone requested to work fully/mostly remote with a new offer? How did it go? How did you request it so it seems beneficial? Thanks 🙏🏼
