"OUT BY SIX" (6 PM) ON THURSDAYS AT LEK IS A LIE. IT'S BEEN WEEKS SINCE I HAVE LOGGED OFF BEFORE 12AM ON A NON-FRIDAY NIGHT. MOST DAYS WE WORK TO 1 OR 2 AM. WORKED UNTIL 8 ON FRIDAY (3 PM "SUMMER HOURS" ARE FAKE). BONUSES RANGE FROM $500 TO $5,000. PROFIT SHARE IS A LIE. LIKE A MAN TALKING ABOUT HIS HEIGHT, LEK LIES. HAIRCUT THE OFFER LETTER NUMBER BY 20% OR $20K, WHICHEVER IS GREATER. YOU WILL WORK 70 HRS NOT 50. YOU WILL MAKE $130K NOT $160K VERY TOXIC, JUSTLIKE MY EX. YOU WILL NOT CHANGE LEK.

I have yet to see a positive post about working at LEK…how do they retain people? Do they pay insanely well or something?

They lie about paying well

Sorry you are having this experience! I get OBS every week. Maybe switch sectors and find managers who prioritize it and execute well alongside you? You can not control everything, but you can control a good portion of your own adventure! Seize the opportunities you do have :)

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.

Looking for some advice on a career change. I work in a technical role and have well-developed soft skills. I want to transition to UX (w/ focus on accessibility). There are a lot of UX educational programs out there, some very new, e.g. Dribbble, and costs are all over the place - General Assembly is $15k (and full-time), CareerFoundry almost $8k, and then many others at a fraction of the price. Reviews also vary wildly. Are these more expensive programs worth the huge increase in cost?
