Presuming you're going to study in law school. If you're at the very bottom of your class anywhere but HYS, you *might* miss out on biglaw.

The problem with this decision is that for most of us, in retrospect, it would have made sense to go to Columbia or Chicago for $$$. But this was before you realized you weren't going to be the next Louis Brandeis. For some people here, like the ones on law review and going to clerk for a feeder judge with ambitions of writing cute law papers for the rest of their life, HLS was worth the $. For the rest of us going into biglaw, when we could have probably gotten the same or de minimus lesser job out of Chicago, yea, it probably wasn't worth it. But its really hard to know which one you are going to be prospectively... |

I turned down 80,000 at Michigan and fullride at Duke and Georgetown for Columbia.
I'm 100% positive I'd have exactly the same job if I went elsewhere. Instead, I have 100,000 debt I'll be paying off for 10 years.
I would rather these checks I'm dropping in the mail every month pay for a mortgage or a porshe or a ferrarri or something.
I knew I wanted to do public service and I knew that within reason it didn't really matter where I went to school for the type of law I wanted (big or mid law with public service bent and lots of pro-bono).
I chose poorly. |

As for GDMF, enjoy paying my salary next year, bitch. You will continue to work 80 hours a week to pay for that pretty HLS diploma while my NYU degree hangs in an 88th floor banking office that you payed for. I won't be there half the time you're working, of course. I'll be out drinking.

or wait 2 more years, guaranteed Top 3 b-school (GMAT completed).
will have around $50k cash coming in if I go this year.
opinions?

1) 2 VPs at big firm. 2) Top b-school grad, who's gotten two of his prev analysts in.
780 GMAT.
what? I don't know yet. If I can get a V3, then I'll do M&A in NYC. Otherwise I'd be looking at SF. KVN at best, WSGR or Heller at worst.
Plan to do a few years biglaw, then go to the start-up scene.
With b-school, again depends. If I can get Goldman or PE, then that. Else work my way up to Fortune 50 Director level position, then go to start-up scene.
I'm pretty open. Law school seems more interesting than b-school, purely in an academic sense. B-school you don't learn ANYTHING, it's just a long networking session. |
|
Date: May 3rd, 2007 2:39 AM Author: Bright pisswyrm hospital you're not going to get kvn from the schools you listed. wsgr or heller are easy enough.
i thought the same thing about law school being somehow academic. it sorta is, but it mostly sucks. |
|
Date: May 3rd, 2007 2:44 AM Author: Orange Mad-dog Skullcap Gaping yeah, I've gotten that. except from people in b-school, the "mostly" isn't there.
i'm pretty sure only way I get KVN is if I do really well and transfer, obviously not counting on that. the other firms will be fine too.
the other thing is I liked history in high school, never liked ee much -- having a job out of ugrad is good though --... so thinking i might like law school, dunno. |

well. iono.
why did you go to law school to begin with? I just think it would be a good experience, and something I won't regret in 6 years. It's not like with a good law degree and good undergrad engineering degree you can't switch back into IT whenever.
I have some other options now, definitely want to leave my well-paid corporate job... have an offer to go to a funded mid-stage startup. |

exactly what i was thinking when i decided to go. i also wanted to leave my well-paid job. but it's 3 years, it sucks, and the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. if i were you, i'd go to the startup. in fact, is there an email address i can send a resume to?
