Below MBB, but above most other firms specifically for life sciences.

Maybe getting close to Bain as their London life science practice is not that strong.

T2 DD sweatshop - over time will do more large cap deals as the mid market deals they’ve worked on end up being sold to T1

As a mid market M&A boutique, we use LEK a lot for our sellside commercial diligence. They’ve always come across as very personable and intelligent. As with any firm (MBB included), it comes down to the quality of the people sitting across the desk from you. Every firm will generically say they are the best.

I would not want to work at LEK as they do too many sell side. Sell side DDs suck. And so does LEK’s working hours i hear. Pay is good though.

Hi guys,

I need genuine suggestions. I was holding offer from IBM and Wipro & now have got a good offer from a mid size organization.
I want to negotiate with IBM and Wipro & join any of these two.

Do these companies negotiate? When & how should I start negotiation with them ?

I would like to talk professionally so that they provide me a matching CTC or in case, they can't at least they don't block me for future openings.

Please suggest, if anyone can share their experiences.

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.
