Anyone else having trouble scheduling round 1 interviews with LEK? I got the interview invite, and then went to schedule a time, and the portal mentioned all interview time slots are full and to check back, but it’s remained like this for over 2 weeks now. No response from recruiting either. Any ideas on what to do? L.E.K. Consulting

Thinking of moving back from Oz. Things are bad here. Any better at home?

SOS I’m a first year teacher. I’m at a VERY challenging school district & a different culture than I’ve ever been around before. I cant get through a full day’s lesson! I spend more time disciplining!

Went for a pre-employment drug test yesterday. They never asked me if I was on any medications. I had to ask them and was told "oh yeah, just put any you may think make a difference in this text box." I put Xanax, Flexeril, and gabapentin. All of which are prescribed and used as directed. Now I'm terrified that I should have put ALL my meds, to including my psych meds. I've been sober over 12 years and never touched drugs (just booze) but I'm having a full blown panic attack.

The only reason I ever pursued casual sex (a couple times when I was 17-19) was to not get my heart broken. It always sucked and was so boring. I don’t understand when people say they want sex with no emotions. It’s the best part.

Asking for a friend. Is LEK as brutal as everyone makes it seem like?

I'm assuming the LS practice has more reasonable WLB than the rest of the firm, since LS folks aren't always chugging along on DDs.
