How’s the culture at L.E.K. Consulting?

I’ve heard really long hours but people and pay are great. Anyone have a similar experience?

Hours are better than MBB

likefunny

C2 - 55-65 to 50-55.
And I think the difference is even more stark for associates

Yep - people cry a lot on fishbowl, but when it comes down to it things aren’t much different vs MBB.

We travel less (which I like), people are great / fun to work with, and hours are manageable for the most part (no different from other firms).
There is a slight delta in pay at the A level, but it evens out at the C level (compared to MBB)

Exit opps are really good too (including PE)

Sounds about right. All depends on who u comparing us to

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

Got an offer from a secondaries group in a PE firm in SF (<1B latest fund). Had 200 all-in comp in consulting (80%+ coming from base) and bumping up to 230 soon. PE firm is offering 120 base + 90 bonus for Associate position. Does this transition make sense if I ultimately want to become an investor / work in PE? Goal was traditional PE, but no luck there so far with interviews. Also not sure if offer $ is in typical ballpark of what you can expect in MM PE in SF?
