Hello,
This is my first post on this network, although I have been reading you guys silently for months!
I was wondering if anyone could share their experience about the L.E.K. office in Poland (Wroclaw).
I'm especially interested in the Life Sciences Specialist (LSS) position. I love the idea of living in Poland, but there is an offer for the same LSS position in the London office and wonder if this is a better option.
Thank you in advance for your time!

Very bad behaviour of pwc
They asked details for interview by third party recruiting team.
And then after 1 2 weeks, didn't ask me for a date and time, booked the slot themselves.
And I thought that maybe I can try and adjust, but when I attended the interview, no one actually joined the interview.
I stayed for 15 minutes.
I mailed the HR 2 times since then, but no response. This is so unprofessional PwC PwC India

Does anybody use a cleaning service? Worth it?
Ask for help when you don’t know things, push back when you are over staffed. I’m in this exact position, as a second year in M&A I’m expected to be the junior, mid AND senior associate and so I only take on max 2 deals at a time

My requirement is technically 160/month but recently the amount of work I’ve had to do is making a slow day 8 billable hours, plus non-billable work too. We’re all absolutely swamped so it’s not just me but my assignment list is long and I’ve had to put out a lot of fires on top of it.
Yep that was me throughout my second and third years (2020-2021). Deal teams that used to be 4 associates (senior, mid, 2 juniors) when I was a first year became 2-3 juniors (with me, as the second or third year, as the senior most associate). I went from only slightly uncomfortably being on 3-6 matters as the first year to barely holding my own on 2 matters + corporate handholding stuff (issuing annual opinions, updating LLCAs, etc.) that no partner wanted to touch.
I survived by taking a 2-week vacation every 6-8 months (I take the first 2 or so days to catch up on work and then basically don't work at all for the remaining 10-12 days) and reached out for a LOT of help/asked questions at all hours of the night to random partners, and said no to a lot of interesting sounding deals and great people. Organize yourself as best as you can (your to-do list is your lifeline to sanity), remind yourself you need to take MINIMUM care of yourself (for me, that's telling myself to eat at least two meals a day and sleep (even just 3-4 hours when things are really bad)), and try to take a half day or full day off just once a week -- even when things are busy.
I'm feeling burnt out though, and am happily enjoying the slight lull I'm experiencing.

I’m not burnt out yet and am doing a lot of proactive self-care. Also, my supervisors are acutely aware that they’re in a precarious place if they burn us out so they’re doing what they can to be flexible. I could probably lateral to a bigger, better paying firm pretty easy right now if things got bad and they know it.
But yeah, I’m basically the one drafting 60 page purchase agreements for deals instead of just being a due diligence, dial-in, and disclosure schedules/signature page drone.
