Alvarez & Marsal TAS Reputation

Hi everyone,

I am currently in audit at a Big 4 firm and I got an offer from A&M for their TAS practice (basically fdd). What is the reputation of A&M's TAS practice compared to the Big 4?

Is it worth it to wait 1.5-2 more years (i.e. hit senior) before I can transfer out of audit to my Big 4's tas practice (or a different service line) or is A&M as well regarded as the Big4? After doing a busy season in audit I realised I don't want to do pure accounting and I didn't particularly mind putting in some extra hours, so I've been looking to move somewhere I could get better exposure to financial modelling and a somewhat more "strategic" experience before assessing the options available to me once more. Currently considering lateralling to m&a or going b-school (maybe also see whether there are any good opportunities for internal moves in A&M, cause restructuring consulting seems kinda interesting from what I've read). I'll also be leaving before I complete a full year at my current job. Is something like that really a big deal in your experience?

Also I know they usually work on smaller deals than the Big 4 TAS departments but does that matter much?
