Lol lek is a DD factory, I’m a top performer and have only been on DDs. Outside of life science strategy I’d guess other industries probably have 10% strategy projects at best. Our o&p practice (operations) has 1-2 projects going on at once...

^this sounds like a manager/MD from the “stat you listed”. On a value basis maybe but no way on a volume basis. Also if you disaggregate for industry (and remove LS), this would not be even close to the case

LEK is a DD factory, if you sign on you are signing on to pretty much all that comes with it and during deal downturns you’re gonna be rocked. EYP, while DD heavy, has a broader mix of projects.

They’re probably low performers @eyp1 to get stuck with that lol

I’m sorry but what was DD really do? I thought DD was heavy at Parthenon and that’s a good thing becuase you learn a lot? Please help me clarify!

like

Agree with BA1. DDs are generally pretty cool (market and company depending) and a great learning experience but timelines are tight and so they’re best mixed in with breaks or longer cases

Can anyone speak to how LEK is doing as a firm? Deal pipeline, any layoffs, etc.

Thanks BA1 and LEK1. Exploring opportunities at LEK, EY Parthenon - have a skillset & experience that could add value to the team but didn't want to waste their time if they weren't considering exp hires given the current economic climate.

If you are at LEK now, I'd welcome the opportunity to connect to discuss further.

Very similar business mixes. I can speak to LEK but don’t know much about EYP. Know some great people there though

Do creative directors have to manage people?
I don’t like managing people, especially juniors who are still figuring out their career paths. But at my company, in order to be considered a leader, you have to manage people. I see myself as a leader, contributing ideas and strategy… I just don’t want to deal with developing performance goals and compensation. Is this the case everywhere? Can I be a creative leader without managing?

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".
