I have two friends that used to work there so their perspective and a small sample: A bit toxic and really, really long hours but less travel than MBB. Both of them struggled to exit to strategy manager positions.

I personally attended an open day when I was doing my MBA. They spoke more about McKinsey than LEK. I was not impressed and never applied.

Similar to the things I've heard. Had an MBA presentation at our school just a few days ago which I heard was attended by a total of 10 people including 5 company representatives...

Seems rough quite honestly. I’d choose other reputable T2 shops over them. But if it’s your only option, still a decent place to start your career. You’ll probably just be exhausted

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?

Hi fishes!

I've been working as a freelancer for the last 1yr as a UI/UX designer. Now I'm thinking of switching back to a full time job in the same field. Usually companies ask what's your current and expected CTC. In this situation, what would be the best response? Shall I give them my last invoice that I got paid or tell them it's variable?
Also, what should be the expected CTC with 4 YOE in Product design or UI/UX role?

Any suggestions and thoughts are highly appreciated!

Hello all! So I’m currently a Realtor in LA. Prior to being a Realtor, I was a store manager for a luxury store in Beverly Hills. I was kind of forced to get out of retail when the pandemic hit so my only option at the time was to jump in to real estate as I already had my license. I’ve been feeling unfulfilled with real estate and truly miss luxury retail. Does anyone have any referrals for luxury retail jobs in Los Angeles? I would love to hear from you! Thank you for taking reading my post!
