Hello all,
I am relatively new to the site and am seeking a little advice. I am 6 mo out of non-target undergrad working as a management consultant for a boutique firm in the Southeast U.S. I have been looking to move to a more prestigious firm and bigger city and have received offers 2 offers, one from AlixPartners as a Business Intelligence Analyst in their Dallas office and one from PwC as a Treaury Associate in their New York Office. The BA role will progress into a Consultant role within 1-1.5 years most likely within their Restructuring (AlixPartner's specialty) or Performance Improvement practice whereas the Treasury Associate role is an internal role and I would likely try to transition to a Senior Associate role in PwC's Corporate Finance Advisory department after two years.
My question is which path would look better for B-school, provide exit ops into IB/PE, give me better experience? Both firms have said they sponsor tuition for B-School. Assume compensation is comparable between the two. I appreciate any insights you can give, thanks.
AlixPartners IMO
Could you shed some light on what constitutes said opinion?
If you are considering an MBA later on then AlixPartners is a solid feeder into Top 15 programs especially for OCR and with a background in restructuring since they are one of the top firms around. I think this experience will greatly help you if you ever want to lateral to IB or even MBB compared to PWC role.
Another note it sounds like PWC role is more "back office" role compared to Alix which is a client facing role. One thing to note is firms like Alix require a lot of traveling to client sites while i assume PWC will be more stationary. Comp wise they might be comparable now but i think Alix will pay more in the long run especially from a bonus perspective and the dollars will go a lot further in Dallas compared to NYC.
Let us know what you decide! Cheers
Thanks kenneth635, I was leaning toward AP as well.
I would second that opinion. You will have a chance to work at one of the market leading restructuring shops. In this field Alix and A&M are the best players and in my opinion this work is much mor einteresting than Treasury.
Alix Restructuring if you don’t mind very long hours and 80-100% travel for months on end.
One thing I can promise you is that you will learn a lot.
