I may have the opportunity to join a Big 4 firm working in restructuring as a graduate in a regional office.

I don't know that much about the work but it sounds quite interesting and varied working on administrations and turn-arounds. I would study for CA and then I assume I would do the JIEB exams to become an insolvency practitioner.

Do you think this career path has a good future?

What are the exit opportunities for people with experience in this area?

And (most importantly hehe) how much money could I expect to earn with some experience?

A Big 4 on your CV is in itself a bonus. If your options are otherwise limited, I would take it and work out my strategy as I went along; you never know what opportunities may open up as a result. Good luck!

1] 'Tis far from the worst path. Very far. Unless you have a very good alternative, take it.

2] Just insolvency might have it's limitations (obviously) but if you qualify as a chartered Arthur first, and maybe get a little post qual experience, you have options, in the direct world, industry and, to a reasonable degree, the wider world. You won't be feeling the pains of the shackles!

3] While probably not in serf for your butler territory, you won't be pimping Big Issue, as long as you don't fk up. Put some decent effort in and you won't be wanting too much (unless you get redirected to the smoke and have to take out a million, billion multiple mortgage smile).

Good stuff clap.

The one slight issue is that all you've gained is the opportunity to try for the hard yards - worth it though.
