PhDs come in two years below MBAs (who start as project leads) at LEK. The position is called PhD Analyst, and I believe the starting salary is ~$150k

New/pivoting into HR! 👋 Currently working as a TA Coord with a little entry level work in HR Ops prior to this.

Hello FishBowl,

I’m in the final rounds of my interview process for a NYC Hedge fund, non tech role. The recruiter mentioned the compensation package is bonus heavy which can be multiples of base salary. Though they will guarantee a full bonus (sign on + year end) for my first year. 300k target

My current role/company is salary focused so I’m out of my element negotiating the bonuses.

What type of questions should I ask the recruiter about the bonus payouts? Vesting?
