Was reached out to by LEK and interviewed and landed offer for Consultant role. Current Experienced Associate at Strategy& and have been here for about a year now doing a lot of fit for growth or basic strategy projects. Is this worth taking? I am more interested in finance and seems like LEK does more CDD work than S&. Thoughts?

LEK = CDDs, great exit ops & pay. But they work you hard for it

like

@C2, ah, you’re right there then🙂& id agree with you. I’ve been 40% strategy, 60% DDs myself. Cheers.

I can't even get either of those firms to look at me, so I envy you no matter what choice you make

Don’t discredit yourself just yet.
(Not to sound preachy by any means) I came from a lower tier university and did not start with Strategy&. All credit goes to nonstop applying to jobs, improving my consulting skills / tool kit, and mainly luck.
Keep applying and I’m sure you’ll land somewhere amazing

That’s really good, 3 YOE as a C?

What’s the end goal?

Go for it - I mainly targeted PE actually but somehow got a VC offer that was a great fit personally

Came to LEK as an associate from another firm for that reason. There’s a lot of CDD but also a fair amount of strategy work, just luck whether you get staffed on those though

Got it. Yeah I mean if your goal is pe/vc then CDDs will set you up well for recruiting. I think most ppl that leave LEK for those roles are below the consultant level, but if you’re interested in that you can probably network your way to some smaller shops
