How desperate are LEK atm??

I objectively bombed one of my final round interviews with the office senior partner and next morning he offered me a job, and then HR followed up asking panicked if I had offers anywhere else 😂

For the love of Pete please don’t go to LEK. It’s miserable with a toxic culture.

Deloitte is not nearly as toxic as LEK. My friend works there and she makes it sound like she’s an investment banker. Coincidentally she hasn’t left in almost 3 years though lol

Same thing happened to me at S&. Without the HR panicky call.

We’re all desperate. LEK is a solid job. Just be ready to tough it out for 18 months.

It’s all the same. LEK is just more PE focused so it seems worse. Our PE / Deals group is just as bad

What comp did they offer and level?

DM

If I may ask, what was the timeline from when you applied online to your interview? Did you apply with a referral?

Sure, feel free to DM

This makes me feel slightly better. I just objectively bombed on for my final round interviews with them 😑

Just realised that could've started early. I'm in mid 20s and thinking about investment. Tried watching YouTube videos. But I have pretty basic questions :
1. Where do I even start?
2. What %age of income should I invest?

I hope I'm not late.
