LEK SF vs Accenture Strat NY
Choosing between FT offers out of undergrad from LEK SF, Accenture Strategy in NY, and The Cambridge Group in Chicago. As of now, interested in long-term working in corp strategy in Consumer Goods/Retail (specifically apparel or beauty) but subject to change. LEK seems like the stronger choice but worried about not getting much exposure to CGR clients.
Any thoughts on b-school placement, prestige, exit ops, industry exposure for someone with my interests?
Accenture: not even once
Cambridge might give you some good projects. I've heard good things that they mainly do growth strategy. They got bought by Nielsen, correct?
In terms of prestige, I would say that LEK is ahead of Accenture Strat and the Cambridge Group. Accenture Strat recently bought Kurt Salmon, which has a good presence in the retail space. However, I would be hesitant against going with Accenture Strat as I'm not fully confident in the quality of their strategy projects. I would recommend Accenture Strat if you want to go down the MD/Partner career path.
