What’s restructuring like? Could any 🐠 fill me in on how life is at their firm, the type of engagements, and the skills needed? I’m interested in pivoting to the world of finance.

Skills: modeling, understanding of how businesses actually operate, accounting

WLB: on a deal, nonexistent. 75+ hour weeks plus Saturday/Sunday work prevalent. Off deals, pretty chill.

A&M depends on where the deal is in the process as well. Pre-BK and early BK tend to be busier. Things become more sustainable once the deal normalizes with less fires. Also depends on deal team size.

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

Should I stay or should I go?
