What does LEK pay for a consultant role in the US?
Also is LEK truly a 16hr/day work? Idea is to spend a year and pivot to mbb

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.

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.

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

Hello all, i have. A question regarding compensation for a lateral move. I just received a job offer for an UA position from a competing cyber insurance carrier for $70,000 + bonuses. This job will be based out of San Francisco. I currently make $30/hour for the same role in Chicago, after OT it’s about $60,000. Do you think it would be wise to accept the offer? Thoughts in general?

Hi All, looking for referral for Plsql with 6 years experience. Please let me know if anyone can help

Senior engineer making 135k and I was offered a promotion to engineering manager after completing a development plan. Near the end of the plan and I expect compensation talks to start soon. Based on some research around Boston and my role in the company, I feel 165k plus 10-15% bonus is fair. Nonetheless, first time going through something like this and asking for thoughts and comments. Thanks!

My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
