Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the progress in the application process with LEK thus far!

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your situation:

  • First of all, it's normal to feel a bit anxious after final interview rounds. For LEK in the UK, it typically takes a few weeks to hear back.
  • Moreover, while you wait, it's a good idea to continue preparing and applying to other consulting firms, so that you will be prepared no matter the outcome.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there,

By “after” do you mean after you've done the internship? Generally once you complete an internship they will let you know if you have a return offer or not.

Hi there!

As I was mentioning in another Q&A, my candidates who applied for LEK in the UK were applying for full-time roles, and they heard back at the end of last year. 

Typically, they get back in a couple of weeks. 

Even if you discover that other people have heard back earlier, don't read too much into it. It doesn't necessarily mean that you didn't get it. 

Hope you hear back from them soon!

Hi there,

I think the question misses some context.

Heard in what way? 

If you are referring to what Ian mentioned, return offers are usually already discussed during your internship and should be confirmed shortly after (1-2 weeks).

All the best,

Florian
