Turned down an L.E.K. Consulting associate offer last year because of the low base and overall TC versus another boutique offer.

Considering reapplying now after the hikes but only see Associate or Consultant openings, does LEK interview for A2/SA or should I wait til I have enough YOE/MBA to interview as a C?

Reach out to recruiters. They are hiring experienced hires- whether you come in as an experienced A1 on a faster promotion timeline or A2/AC depends on your experience.

Always reach out to someone… just have a good answer about why you didn’t take the offer and why you’re back in touch (probably something other than comp)

At 3 YOE you have a chance at A2 if your firm is reputable and directly correlated work exp

Which boutique are you working at?

At boutique cyber strategy firm/team (<100) in a larger firm (2-5k employees), non-T2 firm!

We don’t bring laterals in at the A2 or AC level. Hell would break lose if this changed, given there are plenty of lateral with over 2 YOE that had to start as an A1. Exception may be made if you’re coming from MBB or OW, but at that point, you probably wouldn’t be interviewing with LEK.

LEK5 this sadly has changed. For example we hired someone as an AC from Point B in October lmao

Hi all! Has anyone else been interviewing for in-house, mid-level Privacy counsel roles? I have found these interviews to be extremely demanding (11+ 45min-1hr interviews with technical/legal specific questions + 10hr writing assessment). Has any one else experienced this? Is anyone else finding that these assessments are becoming more of a norm in the interview process for privacy roles? Thoughts on this or advice? Thank you!

Hi IBM sharks 🦈

So I got interviewed for a project by the IBM team. The interviewer told me that its a go ahead from their end, now the client will assess my profile and if they too are fine with it, I will be onboarded?

Is it true that we have client interview as well? If yes then after how many days of interview by IBM team, client interview takes place?

Or its just that if the IBM team is fine with it, we are selected for the project?

Any inputs on this will really help :)

Im currently studying Industrial Engineering with a minor in management.

Im thinking that if I end up at consulting especially no one will care about a management minor they’ll just look at the firm I worked for.

Anyone else stoked about the upcoming THPS 1+2? That should keep me indoors for quite some time...
