Need some advice: recently promoted Manager in EY B.Transformation practice, got an offer from L.E.K. for C1 (generalist), PwC for M1 (similar practice as EY). Base Compensation at LEK is 11% higher and PwC is 25% higher than EY. Bonus is highest at LEK (performance+ profit sharing). Any suggestion, based on work, company culture, prestige, exit ops? So far I like consulting, but may wanna exit in Tech in future.

On prestige and exit, LEK is the way to go. However it’ll be worse hours I believe.

Yes, LEK avg. engagement length is 5 weeks, so wlb wouldn’t be great.

WLB will be much worse at LEK and slightly worse at PwC. LEK work subject matter could be more interesting, PwC probably the same.

Earnings are hard to project until you get to SM/AP and track to a path. Focus on this milestone first.

Thanks for sharing this! I have few follow up questions, will DM you.

OP. B transformation is losing people left and right. I wouldn’t be surprised if they at least try to make a competitive counter

like

I was at D and exited to FAANG. I’m sure there are similar stories from ex-PwC, EY and LEK. I’d focus the question more on company culture and potential earnings than on exits to tech at this point

Makes sense. Maybe edit your post and tag EY, PwC and LEK. That way you should have people who can speak to culture based on specific groups give you insight. Good luck!

If like being at EY and feel valued, ask for counter. Best option in my opinion

If you end up asking for a retention please put the conversation and how it went about!

Hello all, I’m planning for a career switch. As I’m currently in Finance sector and planning to quit my job and to start my career in IT Hardware companies like: HP, Dell and Lenovo etc.. Before taking this jump I want to know how is the career growth in IT Hardware, how is the promotion structure in such companies.

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance.

It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭
