Joining LEK Consulting this February. Wanted to get more insight on how the firm is doing financially this year (e.g., budget). I am based out of the Boston office any recommendations on which coverage groups have the best culture and CTLs. Also interested in the hours you guys are working and the expectations for Lateral Associates vs traditional. Thanks!

Financially firm is doing a lot better, lots of projects are being sold!

Hours for new associates typically around the 60 hour mark per week, sometimes going up to 65+ if you’re staffed on a really hard project, but that’s not the norm.

Would say that industrials and MedTech likely have the most fun cultures to work with. Consumer can be a little more challenging and data heavy. Life sciences is harder without a background in science. TMT I know less about

LEK isn’t perfect, but you will get some really great opportunities at this company and will make good money! And I have also made some of my best friends at LEK.

Enjoy your January and your time off, message me if you have any questions, but don’t let all of the fishbowl comments scare you!

Bain1, 3/5 is technically good standing, but in practice it is more of a “not cut in good economy / fine if just starting, will be CTL’d instead of promoted if the pyramid needs managing, and definitely on the chopping block in a tough economy” sort of deal

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
