Leaving LEK was a great day

funny

Having just left, I have many thoughts. Any specifics?

#MBBL

What do you want to know?

Super strong in DD and life sciences. I've seen some LEKers go on to cool exit opps too.
But the WLB is awful, the management style is odd (it genuinely seems to be the case that you have to ask every night when you can sign out / go to bed), and they are v cyclical due to that DD mix (so had a rough time during COVID).

Avoid

Strong reputation but terrible WLB, and weird culture of always having to get permission to log off
