An LEK partner had joined DS as a partner in Chicago. But he left within 2 years to go to OW. S& pays pretty well. SA1 out of MBA is 168k so M would be close to 200.
There’s been decent turnover. I know of 1 dir and SM who came from outside but left within 2 years. There’s a former BCG partner who leads a lot of the work. She’s like a star and “imp”
Now every firm is sold to the brim but during “normal times” DS was not as super booked. Deal sizes are smaller-ish 20-500m
Lastly, S& is a brand only and not a separate entity so in terms of all admin the broader ecosystem you are in PwC.

Sorry I don’t recall much but I haven’t seen folks going to place that I would remember as “sexy exits.”
One key difference to highlight would be indeed the diff in how the two firms approach business. LEK is very DD after DD, nimble. PwC / S& is designed to bring in a whole platoon of consultants to everything and that is the expectation of of you. So you would be expected to for almost every project bring in the deals platform. So like pevc, FDD, tax yada yada.

However, I have an interview scheduled for early this week where, after further research, I don’t think I would be very happy. Should I let the recruiter know that now, or just do the interview for more “practice”? Thanks!
