I got an offer from Big 4 firm for 85K at senior level. Is that what I should be expecting. Also my current firm keep telling me that the work will be too much and I won’t be able to handle it.

Any Big 4/MBB Partners moved to Alvarez & Marsal / AlixPartners recently? What has your experience been like? I’m not a Partner yet but on track and have been approached by both A&M and Alix so want to get the best information before making my decision. Thanks in advance!

How do the pension schemes for partners/principals compare across the B4? At Deloitte, until a few years ago, it was 1% of high five per year up to 25 years. Now, I believe the partners have to contribute 50% of the 1% per year, so the benefit is more like .5% per year.

I got rejected for B4 FDD after interviews this fall... Would another attempt after this busy season be reasonable or not really if the partners didn't like me this time around?
