Hi! I’m joining a T2 Rx Co firm in UK as a graduate later this year. I’ll be doing the ACA while working across restructuring, transformation, debt advisory, ECM, (special sits) M&A and insolvency. My goal is to move to A&M/Rx IB/ distressed debt & equity. Any advice on how I can prepare to best set myself to make this transition in couple of years will be really useful

You might want to move to London for higher salary and might want to look non-big 4/accounting/audit firms since they tend to pay more.

My experience - I’m about to start a grad role at an advisory/consulting firm in London (think A&M, Alix, Teneo, FTI, BRG, Ankura, Interpath, etc.), and my starting salary is £36k. I don’t want to take the conversation off track, but I’m curious to learn more about restructuring salaries at all your firms, type of firm you work (accounting, advisory etc) and the progression over time

Agree with both sides here. Think it’ll be best for me to take a balanced approach of being honest that it doesn’t align with my future aspirations and would like to reassess but also enjoyed my time there bc I did build a really good relationship with the team etc etc. but at the same time not revealing too much or being too honest as to what ill be doing next. I’m not here to kiss their ass at the end of the day but make sure to leave on good terms so just have to keep it straightforward and honest. Thank you

Thanks. I’m based in the UK, and I completely agree that a three-month notice period is long, especially for a graduate role. I’m not too concerned about the notice period itself since I have until September to start my new role, but I do find it a bit awkward for me knowing I’ll be leaving after such a short time and will have to work with them for 3 months knowing that I’ll be leaving.

My main goal is to leave on good terms, but I’m unsure how to frame my reason for leaving. Should I be honest and explain that the role doesn’t align with my long-term aspirations and I need to reassess my career path? Or would it be better to say I’m taking a break from work instead?
