Lol it’s not like that’s our client list. You can see on LinkedIn where people go.

Lots of strategy, business analyst, corporate development, and product

Don’t work at LEK, heck don’t even work in America, but from a Londoners perspective SF seems pretty dope

Thanks!

I've spoken with a number of folks from the Boston office and really liked all of them. Seems to be like a great group and lower COL than SF. Not sure how that would affect opportunities though.

Yeah that’s what I’m wondering. I know Boston doesn’t touch TMT much so tech may be out the question

Which city do you like more? Boston is safer and cleaner but has substantially worse weather than SF except for the summer.

Both good options. Boston office is much bigger with more diverse projects, SF is maybe one third the size but growing with focus primarily on tech and healthcare. Exit options aren’t that different - more tied to industry you end up aligning to than office; some definitely leave Boston to go into west coast tech. There are dedicated TMT folks in Boston, but proportionately rarer. I would say Boston offers better QoL and more work friends but SF has that California allure.
