LEK perspective:
Pros:
-More pay - I believe the range is $330-370K depending on tenure and revenue managed
-Backbone of the client engagement - you really are responsible for client interactions, driving to find the right answer - you own everything and you can own it for two cases
-Relatively short path to partner - could just be 4 more years
-Great culture full of smart and social coworkers. Not traveling makes for a vibrant office life

Cons:
-You will be staffed to the limit here. Resources are expected to be utilized to the max
-This could be good or bad - you have a high level of firmwide responsibility for your job title

What part of EY-P?

Private equity / AM&M practice

If the goal is to make partner you will make much more at LEK

LEK. And clearly, if anything I’m biased towards EYP

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%
