My roomate interviewed for LEK experienced hire class - didn’t get it after final round. The firm just reached out again, and are piloting a program where there’s an evaluation program 6 months in to determine whether she stays or not. They say evaluation will be the same as other associates, but why not just hire more associates..? Are they just hiring temporary workers? Is she gonna get screwed?

Sounds like a contract role. Generally a bad idea to take it. Your performance has nothing to do with whether you get extended (unless you are horrible in which case you will certainly get fired/not extended); it’s generally dependent on budget. Your job security is close to 0. When cuts need to be made, you will be the first to go.
