Application at LEK still sitting at “Application Received” two weeks later … is that basically a no or are they slow for the holiday season? Do you recommend I reach out to the regional recruiting email on their website?

I know nothing about LEK but two weeks is barely any time, do you know how many applications firms receive and how few recruiters there are to deal with all of them?

UPDATE: For anyone curious, I just got a response back today from LEK recruiting stating that they have begun resume screening for full-time roles and one should expect to hear back within the next “few days” regarding next steps

Yeah for for an Associate role interview track, not interested anymore

Here is the TLDR LEK doesn’t suck post.

IMHO, our stint in consulting’s purpose is to develop a corporate strategy skillset. Doing CDDs is one of if not the best way to get a ton of reps and variety in our 18 - 24 month tenure.

With options among MBB, T2 incl S&, EYP, and general Big 4 / ACN MC:

- Take MBB (can ask for CDD, overall better comp package)
- Reject B4 MC (won’t get it here)
- T2 (pick other T2s if you want way more strategy projects that aren’t CDD / growth strategy)
