No travel, high impact low ego, definitely punch above our weight, not afraid to get our hands dirty to deliver, and finally, acknowledging that the job is demanding, but putting the right mechanisms in place to support people (eg out by six and protecting weekends)

It’s more of a thing for associates and consultants. Managers don’t really have this policy. We choose one day each week between Monday-Thursday (most times Thursday’s) that we work 9am-6pm. Then we finish at 5pm on Friday’s (3pm during summer). We have protected weekends as well. Now you may be wondering why does LEK have a sweaty reputation, and it is because we still work ~60 hour weeks but the majority of those hours happen Monday-Wednesday. Not a bad thing. Just a preference thing

I really do love the people here. MDs are great. Coming in as an M, you’d be making very good money too

Why do M at LEK more than MBB

If so how much?

Genuinely capable people esp. in major offices. Most aren’t the most expressive people, but will pleasantly surprise you. One of the very remaining pure strategy firm that does a lot of thinking/bottom up analyses. Growing and has ambitions to keep expanding - thus plenty of blue sky opportunities within the firm.

Thank you all for this input! Much appreciated.

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
