Happy to also jump on the phone, but here’s some general notes:
- you’ll have one quant and one qualitative interview
- Stay focused. You’ll only have 30 minutes including get to know you stuff
- be sure you have a solid why LEK story (common examples include don’t want to travel, want to do purely growth strategy, think PE is really interesting, healthcare / LS are interesting)
Best of luck!

Outside perspective (at ZS) here. Great talent at LEK, recruited from a similar pool as we did in business school. I can’t speak to hours or culture, but the pharma clients I work with were impressed with their deliverables.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.
