Finally found THE one, after over a year of searching and trying out at least 5 different ones!
A nice comfortable office chair.
https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491
My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest
I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

Disagree ^ just ended a 4yr stint in restructuring at FTI. It certainly ebbs and flows, but at the end of the day, everyone i worked with was a human and acted as such - i found it doable to do my actual life simultaneously with the job. Would highly recommend FTI.
With that said, I am single and in my mid-20s with no kids so my actual life obligations are relatively low compared to those with a family/kids
For some people this is true. I tend to do a lot of company-side RX work personally.
I also love FTI for work life balance. I’ve been billing 60 / working 70-80 hour weeks for 3 months now, and that’s the absolute worst it’s ever been in my time here. Normally I hover around 40 and whenever I pick up to 60 it’s for 6 weeks, give or take, before I drop back down. I do really think FTI tries to let you prioritize actual balance.
Restructuring and WLB don’t go together. You’ll be hard pressed to find a RX firm worth its salt with a decent WLB.
I’m A&M restructuring and it’s highs and lows. During prep for a BK filing work or urgent deadlines can be very busy bur after those peaks work life can be more regular 40-50 hours. Our compensation model makes the hours incredibly worth it
I'll answer with the lovely "it depends" (on partner, project, industry of the restructuring)
So it's hard to give you an answer that is valid across all those scenarios
If you prioritize WLB you're looking at the wrong specialty.
Good luck! Very much not for me but some people love it.

Can’t speak for the others but my friend at A&M is literally never not on call or busy. For what that’s worth
AP2, seconded: at FTI, yes you’ll get worked to the bone for filing prep or the occasional fire drill, but cases often have a long tail and you’ll have sometimes a few months where you’ll have 30hrs of work on that case, or even less. Or, best case scenario, in a slow Rx market, nothing at all, and you’re still getting paid!! So i definitely wouldn’t say Rx advisory has a terrible WLB by any means, it just requires a little more flexibility since it’s so volatile
