Tossing up offers between Oliver wyman and LEK in their London offices. What is better? Both offered positions as BA. I am more interested in tech… would Altman Solon be worth a shot? How does it compare to LEK/OW?

OW is the better choice. LEK London is a sweatshop.

LEK2 I’m also pre MBA and my experience has been 60 - both personal and ppl I’ve spoken with :)

Have never been given a hard time with taking a lunch break or workout break in evening either.

I think super important to note that all of our experiences are anecdotal. I’m not saying others don’t have a difficult experience, but mine has been quite manageable (relative to expectations) as has that of most people I know at the firm. And I’ve found the firm culture to be awesome too- zero complaints there. I have other gripes, but not at all what people typically have to say about LEK.

Not even a choice! OW wins hand down vs LEK. Better brand name/exit options etc .

Altman is TMT strategy but mostly focused on DD/CDD kinda work

like

OW still wins OP! I work in TMT and interviewed with Altman last year and although the brand is good within the TMT sector , OW is much widely recognised

Altman London is heavily focused on DD/CDD kinda work and less ‘strategy projects’ . Strategy projects are quite less vs overall pipeline

like

Definitely OW

like

Altman Solon is definitely worth considering vs. LEK/OW when taking into account compensation, career progression and exits - but only if you're passionate about TMT!

I’ve given a detailed summary of all of my expenses yet every month one family member in particular comes to me for rent money (not some, the full amount, and they refuse to get a job). It has become quite the burden.
