In heart beat. You’ll learn what a true strategy project is at LEK. Plus you’ll be making more money.
In general, I’ve mainly been involved in growth strategy cases. I get what you mean though, Deloitte does often label “strategy” on non strategy projects
I realize I'm not being helpful with your decision, but I have to say I am always confounded when people say their "end goal" is an MBA. An MBA should be a means to an end, not the end itself...
C1, would be easier to transition to something like IB okat MBA rather than straight from D or LEK
LEK works a lot more than D on average

LEK is a top feeder to mba programs. I’d definitely jump.
I think deloitte’s strategy brand has been on the decline, I would jump if it was me
Let's wait to see what happens with A2 "adjustments" and year-end ratings. In pretty much same boat as you. M7 MBA is very achievable continuing down this path (maybe not Harvard or Stanford), and can be done in a shorter amount of time if you don't start over.
I hope we get at least something. Unbelievable with how much profit is rolling into D, but 1 year into working here there are people starting at PwC and Accenture making more than me by a decent amount.
God no!
I would think so. Your pay raises at LEK are much higher than D.
What’s your base at Deloitte that you’re 15k under?
Rising Star
Hmm I prolly wouldn’t do that unless you get tenured credit and decent pay increase
If you are going to switch, do it for the money, not for MBA odds.
I Just graduated from an M7, (did not do consulting pre-MBA). I def saw more Deloitte + Big 4 consultants than tier 2 boutiques. (LEK, ZS, the company formerly known as AT Kearney)
MBB def stands out more
I don’t think they view LEK or Deloitte any different..
People from Big4 do MBAs b/c many don’t get a taste of strategy and want to go MBB. People from LEK can pivot to MBB easily and already do strategy work, so much less appealing. Same reason for the low # of MBB consultants in M7.
Do it, LEK will pay much better and also reimburses grad school - where as Deloitte will be very hard to do so
