AlixPartners MBB Position Equivalent

Question

Hi all,

I am currently a 3rd year MBB Consultant and have been approached by a Headhunter for a "Consultant" Position at AlixPartners (RX).

It is their most junior position (after Analyst - but that started just recently), where they usually hire people with a 3-4 year Big4 Advisory background. The total compensation is comparable to my current one.

My question: is that position appropriate, or can I try leverage my MBB background for a higher position (Vice President)? How do I best approach this?

Thank you for your constructive comments in advance!

Best,

D
