Reached out to LEK recruiters and they say they will be opening up applications for their LSS role in Sept for a Sept 2024/March 2025 (!) start. Is this normal? Seems insanely long to me, that would mean you'd have to tell your current employer 10-12 months in advance that you were leaving if you got an offer (if you wanted them to provide references).
I'm new to consulting and so just getting to grips with how far in advance firms are hiring. Applying to some MBB and T2 firms at ~exp hire level and I was hoping for a Jan/March 24 start at the latest. Not sure how feasible this is anymore which is disappointing!
