      great leadership and great culture right now

      Cons

      work life balance is not great even though there are mechanisms for it

    2. Fish that have already made it onto the buyside - honest thoughts on LEK? We do a ton of CDD, VDD, growth strategy, etc. and just curious how we are perceived. Thanks in advance!

        Pros

        The people you're working with are bright and fun (I spend time with coworkers on the weekends and would consider them close friends)

        Cons

        Cases are becoming a lot more time-intensive and understaffed

      4. Considering making the leap from the type of work at LEK (DDs and some strategy) to Deloitte Consulting to improve work life balance and change up type of work (sick of DDs). 5YOE, thoughts? Anyone else done this? Deloitte Oliver Wyman Kearney Bain & Company McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group

        Hell nah, move to another T2 or MBB and target a group/practice area that has better WLB. Heading to Deloitte is a step down.

      Manager

      I recently did a phone interview and it went well. A week later, I get an in person interview with HR. They let me know I will be hearing back from them shortly. On linked in, the position I applied for opened back up, is this a sign that they decided to not hire me? I’ll be reaching out soon. But just got me disappointed.
