OW NYC or LEK SF?
Entry-level position at both. Any thoughts on exit opportunities, b-school placement, name recognition, etc?

OW for sure. They're leaders in FS, and there's no better place to do this than NYC (maybe London??)
LEK. You'll mainly be doing risk projects at OW in your first few years. LEK is well established for DDs, but a bit of a sweatshop
Both are solid firms, but I would say OW, particularly for NY.
LEK is a good firm, but you will primarily be grinding on DD engagements (where it lags behind not just the top shops, but also firms like Parthenon), OW on the other hand has an unparalleled reputation in FS and their NY office is quite solid.
