Coming from GH Commercial Health (provider) with 2 YOE. Recently received verbal offers from Pfizer in-house consulting as a Sr. Analyst and from LEK as an Associate. Total comp is about the same considering I’d be starting near the bottom at LEK, and I really like the WLB of Pfizer. Which offer would be better for business schools in 2-3 years and overall LS trajectory?

What’s your end goal? If the point is to move to industry eventually, just move to Pfizer. LEK is probably better for B-school, but WLB here is, well, not great. I think at A-level we’re better than most firms because of Out by Six and protected weekends, but you’re going to average around 60h a week, more if you get a particular MD who has a habit of blowing things up at 5-6pm. For what it’s worth, I’m about to apply to internal consulting at Pfizer because I’ve just about had enough of going to bed after midnight

Appreciate this reply. Long term goal is 100% industry, so I think it makes sense to go directly there.

LEK for sure, as an experienced hire you can get promoted 3-4 times in 3 years and we routinely place people at top MBA programs

Hi fishes.. Advice required since I am confused.

Profile - MBA from one of the IIMs, Deloitte S&O, total and post mba experience = 2

I am getting an industry offer for 34 LPA which I feel is huge considering my experience and role also seems good. My only confusion is that I feel if I stay in Deloitte for 1-2 more years, I might be able to switch to MBB or Kearney. I always wanted to try the client site lifestyle and might get better exit opportunities after that. What should I do? Thank you.
