Currently BA at MBB Eastern European office with no reliable access to LS projects. Got offered A2 with FT to AC at LEK LS and Sr. Cons at OW LS London. Comp is about the same. I am particularly interested in drug market access/ commercialization strat. and LS M&A. Can anyone provide advice on which option to choose? It seems that OW has both of my interests, while LEK has brand name plus strong M&A track. Would appreciate any advice/ comment

LEK will have more projects involving market access/commercialisation.
OW has historically done healthcare or management style projects but since it’s bought Huron a few months ago, it wants to tap into the same space as LEK and other competitors. For LS M&A, LEK is stronger

Thank you!

LEK work is heavily strategy, including commercialization; market access work is relatively limited. 10-20% M&A.

Thank you!

Congrats, two great offers. Based on your interests, it seems like LEK is a better fit. LS strategy projects are LEK’s bread and butter. If you want to, they can also place you to M&A projects given their good deal pipeline. Enjoy London and all the best OP!

Did you try lateraling to a different office that does LS work at your MBB? Something to consider if you haven't already.

Yes, can only do it in 1.5-2 years
