What is the culture at different LEK offices?

Considering a lateral into LEK (LEK associate position) from a boutique, and for location preferences, I'm debating between: SF, LA, NY, and Boston.

Most important to me are (1) WLB (I know...) and (2) cost of living (since I want to save up money)

If you’re looking for WLB and saving money as your top two priorities, the our Houston office would be your best fit. Clearly you’re looking for something different than just that if SF is on your list? What is it?
