Applying to LEK from Michigan. Considering Chicago and NYC offices. How much more competitive is the NYC office? If I rank NYC over Chicago, am I ruining my change with Chicago?

Probably a bad idea. Most firms recruit midwestern college kids from their midwestern offices...

Can’t speak for other offices. The Chicago and Boston offices have terrible culture. Leadership doesn’t care about junior folks. Your first year is going to be trial by fire. If you want, you can try to do a summer internship there - I am very biased.

Nothing wrong with CDD work. Bain, McKinsey, and BCG all have terrific offerings and way better culture. Even among T2 shops, S&, EYP, A&M, and OW are all good and seem to have more happy people.

Need advice on a specific question!
Interviewed with Chicago court 2 weeks ago; they decide mid-August. Interviewed with DC judge last week; hear from him by this Friday. Chicago said if I need an answer before August, they'd try to make a decision about me sooner.
Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
