Agree with D1 - definitely varies practice by practice, and of course Deloitte has wider brand recognition.

But I pledge allegiance to the bag, so AP it is

I wouldn’t say pay is comparable. We’re in a different league.

Alix is definitely better if you want to be a career consultant because of no up or out. I've seen several senior Deloitte folks at Alix, but not vice versa. Otherwise, Alix is better for RX, PE, and ops consulting & cost takeouts across industries. Deloitte is a more household name due to its larger presence overall.
Also, the pay at Alix is unmatchable.

like

Alix Partners is very strong in restructuring/turnaround space. Deloitte is better for you if you want to be a generalist. If you like bankruptcy work, go to Alix, if not go to deloitte

Alix pays the big bucks though

Absolutely, no question

Depends on what function you’re talking about. That being said - end of day Deloitte has a larger brand recognition probably better for exit. But again, really depends on the practice

Brand recognition of both is equivalent if you want to be a long-term consultant. Deloitte only has a bigger brand name if you're looking to exit consulting. Within consulting, Alix is well known enough.

But they do different things, as other people have said. So if you want to do RX, go with Alix. Else, go big D.

Typical mba hire is 160k base, 50k bonus, 25k signing fwiw

It’s silly to discuss base. What matters is what’s on your W2. We only talk TC.

I work in field sales as an IC. My aspirational career path is to end up in people leadership.

Or should I continue down the field path and wait until those field management slots open up?

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
