What is LEK London like to work for, including broader market reputation ? I’m already at in Strategy at a B4 doing the same type of work. Is it worth the move?

Hard, but if you can it’s definitely a significant step up from B4

Depends on the b4 you’re in. EYP and S& are on par in terms of clients. Bonus is higher at LEK though, but comes at the expense of WLB as it’s known to be a bit of a sweatshop.

I also don’t think LEK is a step up from EYP or S&, they’re all classic T2 firms. You can definitely move into MBB straight away if that’s what you want

Good market rep and good for PE exists. Tough hours as large proportion of work is CDD

How about OC&C? Definitely more pleasant to work for than LEK

Who hurt you, C4?

Good rep but have heard terrible things about the culture from friends who work there.

Anyone done interviews there and can give some colour about the cases / difficulty?

Thanks everyone. Are base salaries similar to MBB too?

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Hi all,

I'm currently working at Infosys as MSBI developer and looking for opportunity in any of Big 4. I noticed there is a job vacancy for the role I fit in PWC in Linkedin and here to check if anyone could help me with referral.

TIA.

So I’m in industry from big 4, and a colleague with same yoe comes from MBB. High paying tech firm. I think I work harder and produce quality content at speed, but they can hold executive conversations that tend to impress senior stakeholders.

Big 4 produces work horses and MBB produces leaders. Also they could be a work horse too since I don’t have full visibility.

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?
