How does L.E.K. Consulting compare to Deloitte ? I just joined a couple months ago but just got an offer at lek. I’m at the analyst/associate level. Pay is similar

LEK is probably better but moving in and out of jobs can be tough. If you somewhat enjoy working at Deloitte, just stay. If not, dip for sure

A lot of people have told me that LEK is a sweatshop, but I dunno.
I had a few friends who went to LEK, and they've never complained to be about it. In fact, I've never heard from them again about anything at all after they started.

Go to LEK if you have the chance

But that sweatshop reputation tho

Wow. How are the pays similar? In India LEK pays 25-30Lakh pa for associate, at Deloitte you can easily remove a zero 🤣

pa = per annum. Lakh = 100,000 rupees

You’re in consulting. Being in a sweatshop is to be expected for all the top firms. Buckle up for the ride.

LEK definitely, not even a competition. Deloitte’s name isnt what it used to be

likefunny

Yeah these metrics don’t make sense. Revenue per consultant normalized for geographies is the real measure.

LEK for sure. It’s not even close. Make the switch now

I think the sweatshop analogy is a step too far. The work is interesting, specially in the life sciences / healthcare side

like

LEK will provide a step change improvement trajectory (personal development, personal brand, bschool, exit ops, etc)

Also depends on what you want to do after. If you want PE or healthcare/life sciences, go to LEK

Worked for both. Do LEK but be prepared for a grind

LEK 100%

I’d give a slight edge to LEK if you were fresh out of undergrad (faster comp growth / more finance exits), but the delta honestly isn’t that big so I’d stay at Deloitte if you’re enjoying it

like

Also consider the kind of work you want to do. LEK has a lot of desk based DDs and market research. Deloitte may give you more variety (thats what led me to not take LEK).

like

This is overstated, especially for LS, which tends to lean more heavily towards strategy, O&P, and even long-term retainer strategy models than any other practice at LEK. You can easily get by doing a minimal number of DDs in LS if you work with the right MDs as an M

I don’t know what Lek is so can’t give you advice but from a brand recognition perspective, Big 4 could help you more in the future to open doors.

A lot of companies hiring temp contractors to do resume screening and recruiting, throughout the year. They often get moved around, so their experience is not always relevant to the candidates they are seeking. I can guarantee that they would recognize Deloitte brand faster than they would lek.

like

I suggest reading this thread and learning. Just because you don't know LEK doesn't mean anything about their reputation, it depends on the type of consulting/exit ops sought. Tech side, Deloitte is absolutely better, but not across the board.

like

Can you let us know what is LEK?

Offer?

Would you make the switch to LEK from Deloitte strategy at manager level? Both life sciences

In Life Science, it’s not even close. LEK’s rep in LS is much better. Make the switch.
