Strategy&

LEK no wlb and sweatshop

Id say S& but both are well regarded, both have bad wlb

Interested to learn how’s the hours like at s& deals? And is there exposure to non DD work?

Yes

what are the average working hours for each?

is that a relatively consistent 55 or an average between some 40hrs and some 70hrs? Just trying to get an idea if working on transactions means more inconsistency
