Received notif of a first round at LEK today for next week T-Th availability but I’ll be out on PTO (out of the state), is there a chance I could email to reschedule or is that an immediate disqualification?

You should be fine, but if a firm dq's you because you had pre-planned PTO that's a red flag

Yeah you’re fine

You should be fine - candidates reschedule interviews all the time.

When did you apply?

A long while back, over 2 months ago? Submitted on the last day of their April (I believe) hiring event.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
