Alvarez & Marsal - Turnaround & Restructuring in London

There isn't a lot of information about A&M's RX practice in London so just had a few quick questions.

1. Comp: What is the typical base salary and bonus at each level? I read that in US your bonus is a fraction of your total billable minus your base salary. Is this the same in London? If so, is this also there for the entry-level undergrad position?

2. WLB and travel: What are the hours like? Is there a lot of travel (I read there used to be a lot before the pandemic but unsure if this has changed)

3. Culture: What is the culture like at A&M? 

4. Interview prep: What technical knowledge is required for their case studies for the graduate programme? Is the preparation quite different from the strategy consulting cases?

5. Exit opps: What are the most common exits? In PE/HF, is it largely distressed funds? Are exits to F500 corporate roles with better WLB possible?
