Hows the onsite situation in LTI?
Hi fishes,
I am planning a switch so was going through some salary data for a software engineer. My ex-senior manager recommended me a website: Growceed.com which helped me a lot in getting clarification about a lot of things but I am in doubt whether the average salaries of software engineer mentioned on Growceed.com really that much in top MNC companies.

Former LEKer here - spent a couple years there as an experienced hire.
The above responses aren’t completely wrong. Hours typically ranged 55-65 in 5 day work weeks (weekends are completely protected for associates, I never touched my computer on weekends). I had maybe 3 80+ hr weeks.
In general these rough hours drag down culture. I’ll say it was a great decision for me though. Exits are fantastic (PE and strategy roles). Pay is better than basically anything aside from MBB (I was making ~$145k when I left - partners make $1m+ if that matters to you). People are very nice and willing to help, and basically everyone is under 35 aside from partners so the younger vibe helps. Associate classes are pretty tight knit. I’m really happy about the two years I spent there. Feel free to dm if you have more questions. Not flexible on pay for associates at all.
Can you share your exit story a bit more? What level at LEK would you say is best to exit? What was your exit comp, appears you still work in consulting?
Sweat shop
Not the greatest analogy - hours at LEK suck, but sweat shop implies hard hours + bad pay. LEK is a sweat shop just as much as MBB by that logic.
Depends on your office and industry vertical. Another data point, I’ve worked mostly 60-70h weeks this year
Which office/vertical?
Shorter projects, lots of PE but can also do lots of corporate strategy depending on your sector alignment. Office location matters and determines which sectors you work in (lots of tech on the west coast, all aviation in Boston, F&B and Medtech big in Chi).
Hours are typically 55-65 but not worse than my friends at other firms and no travel so you save the time on Sunday/Monday and Thursday.
Limited flex on pay from my experience.
Good pay vs other non-MBB firms, I averaged around 60-65 hours consistently
