These are completely different roles... do you like restructuring or do you want to be a consultant? Which team/job is more interesting and exciting to you? What are your long term goals?
Finance focused by nature so thinking EB RX will be more interesting and open more doors
little confused by what you mean
rx strategy consulting? are you doing strategy consulting at a firm known for rx or are you doing rx
is this for 2026 ft? shouldnt the firm have posted the salary ?
Strategy at firm known for rx, lots of crossover. No public salaries for this EB firm
seems like rx ib is an easy choice for you if you're interested in finance and likely interested in rx if both roles involve that. is this analyst 1? i cant think of any eb rx group that doesnt post salaries
Honestly sounds like a no brainer, I'd go EB RX IB, unless it's at a T1 RX consulting firm, and there's a high chance you can jump to the RX consulting side / group. If so, honestly it comes down to what you want to be doing, if you're looking for exits both will open great doors. Also, depends on if you want to be doing restructuring in the first place...it's an industry that not everyone will love. As far as work goes, the consultants and RX bankers have a lot of overlap, but the bankers are more on the structuring a transaction side and the consultants are more on creating value and actually running the firm and exiting it from BK.
With that being said, among my RX consulting counterparts, I could probably count on one hand the number that've jumped from a different group within the firm (strategy etc), to the restructuring arm, so keep that in mind.
In short, the only way I see this being a situation where it comes down to what you want to be doing and neither side offering any meaningful upside is if this is a T1 RX consulting vs T1 RX IB situation. As is, with your strategy offer, I'd take the IB offer over it.
