they do not pay new college grads 120k lol
Lol OP made an elaborate attempt to justify the 120k claim and still didn't get to target. Typical consultant, inflating everything

Super safe to assume low bonuses at LEK - you can count on it

Are they giving you all extra time for bathroom breaks if you post good things on fishbowl to counteract the bad posts?
Rising Star
Have you been dismissed yet?
Chief
I think no one has shown receipts for these LEK TC. All we’ve seen is actual LEK people saying that they haven’t gotten a bonus in 3 years.
Are you an HRBP?
Chief
Wait.....engagement manager works for LEK? This explains so much
Chief
Good point
Chief
I understand that LEK requires staff to dismiss criticism by saying “whatever” so, well done 🏅
lol, come join A&M instead. Those are rookie numbers
A&M is definitely the highest paying out there right now. Uncapped bonuses is the way this whole industry should work
These are exaggerated but even so
If you get a chill job at a big 4 or industry and just uber on the side for like 2-5 hrs a day you'd come on top...and you wouldn't even have to get dismissed plus you could also get 8+ hrs of sleep 😂 😂 😂
Rising Star
I’m in big4 and can tell you it’s pretty chill compared to labor intensive jobs.
Chief
If you are trying to sell your pay as worth the BS🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 because that is typical consulting pay at top firms.
Rising Star
Can you just share the base for all those levels
Leme get a referral
Wow, finally a post that’s positive about LEK.
Chief
It’s clearly coerced
Yea I’d live there for that.
I assume those numbers or inflated but can someone give a rough swag at what the real numbers are for base? I keep seeing all kinds of numbers for a Sr person at big firms but some seem very high. I have 12 years of cloud consulting but never in big firms, so I have always wondered what is the real base would be for a typical big firm with good experience.
Chief
Real base numbers are mostly accurate on Glassdoor or managementconsulted website. People in fishbowl like to throw around bonus numbers which is great when the multiplier is 1x or 2x. The last several years were below 1 and for some firms 0.
Chief
Well. They don't make the top 10 in the Management Consultant Report for 2025
Chief
The original point as I took it, was to indicate their pay was better than all the companies that had better WLB, so the pay made it worth it. And my point was they don't make the top 10 in comp.
If you were making real bonuses you wouldn’t be asking about base salaries lol
