It’s amusing that people plan their career like planning to switch ice cream flavors. Your plan assumes that 3 companies will roll out the red carpet for you in one year after you have done your time at LEK
If you want to try at MBB again in a year that year is most likely better spent getting industry experience in whatever industry you’d like to work in. Either way you probably aren’t getting tenure credit so may as well learn something new that could give you a leg up with staffing once you’re in (or maybe you decide MBB isn’t worth it after all if you end up liking industry)
If you work at Deloitte you can’t hang at LEK, wouldn’t bother imo. Salty spitoon vs weanie hut jr when comparing the rigor and quality of the 2 firms and we don’t need any more lateral churn than we already have.

LEKers dream of a retirement gig with 16 hour workdays!
185k I believe

Bad plan. If your goal is MBB then your much better off getting a top MBA. To answer your question, yes the 16 hrs is real
Getting an MBA after already being able to secure interviews without one seems like overkill.
Don’t go to LEK man (from an ex LEKer). Just chill at Deloitte and try again. Or just go straight to industry lol
The culture is toxic beyond belief and it won’t help your cause. Not worth your time or any amount of artificially inflated TC. Run while you have the chance.

Don’t do it. Just search this forum lol
LEK will fire you before you complete a year
Of course! Lateral hires get fired all the time.
I think so
Base is 185K; TC is ~225K but of course don’t expect to receive all of it (part performance bonuses, part profit share)
225 is close to average 250 is the tc.
In the first year of role you get a good chunk if you meet expectations on performance, in second year you get very little if you meet expectations
