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!

Hi everybody! 😊
I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
I received a proposal for a Senior Analog Designer role from Bosch in the same city where I am currently working.
Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?

It slipped in a meeting today that everyone but me is included in going. More in comments.

Anyone else notice a trend with the mass amounts of layoffs in tech? Why are all their resumes so jumpy? Not like 2-5 years jumpy, like few months at a time jumpy? But still can land a position with similar tech giants? IMO, lots of these people get hired by their rich friends, stay a few months before someone realized they aren’t qualified and were just a recommendation from a current employee. Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%
