I have two full-time offers that I am deciding between. These forums have been helpful for me, and I was hoping to get some advice. Both are for the LA offices, and compensation is comparable.
- I didn't originally think that I would end up in economic consulting. The work seemed interesting, but I think I might be more interested in "strategy work." (I understand "strategy" is a broad term.) However, I have heard that Cornerstone is one of the best in economic consulting and I wouldn't mind developing a more quantitative skill set.
2. LEK Consulting
- The firm seemed like a good place to work, but I have been concerned about its sweatshop reputation. My interviewers did have more prestigious backgrounds (Ivy League undergraduate, H/S business school, etc.) though. I also like the fact that LEK does "pure strategy" work more or less. However, I'm not sure if I should be worried about the consolidation of the consulting industry and the outlook for LEK.
My goal in the long-term is to work in a tech startup in a strategy position after business school. Given that, would you recommend a Tier 1 economic consulting firm or a Tier 2 management consulting firm? I'm also thinking in terms of other exit opportunities post-MBA as well. Thank you.
LEK!
LEK. It seems to fit much better with your goals, and I wouldn't be too worried about them in the short term as far as the consolidation of the industry.
i'd say LEK as well, the skills you would learn in economic consulting don't translate as well to tech startups IMO
I think you might have a better chance with MBA admissions with cornerstone than with LEK. I see that you would rather do strategy but that's something to consider.
