Does biglaw or consulting have better exit ops?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 3rd, 2012 11:57 PM Author: Big Amethyst Chapel Ratface I was always under the impression that options from consulting were superior comp-wise.
What kind of comp are v50 bros in biglaw looking at after 5 years? |
Date: June 3rd, 2012 11:58 PM Author: floppy ivory trust fund rigor Both are looking a low six figure exit opportunities. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1963090&forum_id=2#20821180) |
 |
Date: June 3rd, 2012 11:59 PM Author: Big Amethyst Chapel Ratface Serious? I know that's like a 50%-60% paycut for biglaw. Seems pretty massive.
|
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:00 AM Author: floppy ivory trust fund rigor Well, yeah, but then again the increase in lifestyle is pretty massive as well.
That's the tradeoff for going to a corporate gig. |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:00 AM Author: Swashbuckling ruby skinny woman partner yea but ur working 50 hours vs. 90 hours.
biglaw best exit op is to make partner. better to take 50% cut than to be an unemployed fag |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:03 AM Author: Big Amethyst Chapel Ratface 90 hours is over 3000 billibles. What kind of biglawyer is pulling those kind of hours?
Low six-figures seems pretty dismal. There's gotta be better options. I do know xoxo is unduly pessimistic about this sort of stuff. |

|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:04 AM Author: Big Amethyst Chapel Ratface Obviously. That's at 2/3 efficiency. I'm guessing you are not in biglaw?
If you aren't accurate in your info please don't respond. |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:07 AM Author: floppy ivory trust fund rigor Most BigLawyers are probably pulling 60-70 hour weeks, and also the stress of effectively being on call non-stop and not being able to have firm schedules with anyone in your social circle.
40-50 hour corporate gigs @ six figures are 'dismal'?
|
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:08 AM Author: Swashbuckling ruby skinny woman partner cr.
the faggot OP probably hasn't worked a day in his life. i know biglaw associates who would even give up a chance at partner to quit right now and make 100k at a 40/hour gig.
if u want to ever enjoy life or raise a family and u have worked in biglaw u know exactly what i'm talking about |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:09 AM Author: Big Amethyst Chapel Ratface Yep, those hours are about right.
I'd say low six-figures is very dismal considering the caliber of people who make biglaw. |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:18 AM Author: floppy ivory trust fund rigor Low six figures is dismal because some faggot liberal arts major went to law school because they had no other options?
Wow...just WOW @ the caliber of the typical BigLaw striving faggot |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:30 AM Author: Big Amethyst Chapel Ratface I'm sorry, but why is this controversial? At the very least, if you had the intelligence to make biglaw you had the intelligence to pass a STEM degree, which is probably making close to that 10 years out (without the debt and opportunity cost).
People at T6 had the numbers and intelligence to go to professional schools like med/dent. A significant portion of the T6 comes from top UGs, and they obviously had the GPA to do finance. I know YLS has 35% of its students coming from HYPS alone. |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 1:06 AM Author: gay church building circlehead Greetings, People at T6 do NOT necessarily have the ability to go to med school (as evinced by this board, everyone here would have gone to med school if they had been able to since it's better pay and moar preftige) lol @ polisci 4.0s from directional state U at CCN LS who think if coach had just put them in they could have copped DAT johns hopkins admission |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 1:11 AM Author: Big Amethyst Chapel Ratface I'd say T6 is pretty conservative, actually.
I didn't say JHU necessarily. |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 1:20 AM Author: gay church building circlehead Greetings, There are smart people at T6 who could have done med school and not gotten stuck in family. But I went to a top school [redacted], and there were plenty of people who couldn't fucking integrate x dx. LOL @ them being able to even do well on the MCAT. So no, the average T6er could not have gone to med school. Good night, sir, it's time for me to go to bed. It was nice chatting with you good sir. |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 1:22 AM Author: Big Amethyst Chapel Ratface A person gets 99% on the LSAT but can't integrate x dx? Fuck I hate this board. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1963090&forum_id=2#20821906) |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 1:03 AM Author: gay church building circlehead Greetings, Yes. Seriously fuckign LOL at all the petit bourgeoisie strivers thinking they can put in 50 hours and with their MASSIVE BRAIN SMARTS BOOK LERNIN ASPIENESS they can pull riches |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:09 AM Author: Chartreuse Sanctuary lol. virtually nobody works 90 hours/week in biglaw. i work about 60 average. on track to bill 2100 this year. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1963090&forum_id=2#20821292) |
|
Date: June 3rd, 2012 11:59 PM Author: Swashbuckling ruby skinny woman partner consulting is better if at MBB (mckinsey, bain, bcg). otherwise biglaw wins.
both are shit for exit ops though |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:06 AM Author: Big Amethyst Chapel Ratface What about V5 compared to MBB? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1963090&forum_id=2#20821258) |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:07 AM Author: Swashbuckling ruby skinny woman partner depends what group and which v5. gotta be specific once ur at the top bro. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1963090&forum_id=2#20821265) |

Date: June 4th, 2012 12:00 AM Author: Bistre unhinged set To be fair,
Maybe you aren't familiar with this board.
Let me explain to you how things work around here:
The answer to any "Which is better, Biglaw or [X]?" question is never Biglaw. Biglaw is literally the worst job on the planet, only ugly unloveable loser beta faggots who should haved killed themselves with a shotgun to the face years ago would ever even dream of going to law school, let alone working in the legal profession, and only the lowest and ugliest of women will even consider fucking a Biglawyer.
XOXO, HTH. |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:02 AM Author: Swashbuckling ruby skinny woman partner its pretty fucking true though. biglaw is a HORRIBLE job pushing paper and being a total pussy made bitch.
obviously its better than most jobs but all the betas on xoxo compare it to private equity or doctors and of course biglaw sucks dick. |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:08 AM Author: Bistre unhinged set To be fair,
(Typical XO shithead who thinks that all private equity/doctor dudes are living the life and balling out with 10's instead of working soul-crushing hours in jobs that they usually hate and dating/marrying 6-7's) |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:10 AM Author: Swashbuckling ruby skinny woman partner are u seriously arguing that biglaw is better than PE or being a doctor?
seriously lol |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:19 AM Author: Bistre unhinged set To be fair,
In the reality outside of the internet, PE is filled with miserable aspie short balding self-loathing Jews who have traded literally everything in their life - family, friends, all normal human interaction, hobbies, passions, time - for money. They can make significantly more than a Biglaw association, but they also work significantly worse hours on average. Almost none of them are chill cool charismatic alpha bros who slay puss left and right. A lot of them understandably suffer from depression and substance abuse.
In the reality outside of the internet, Doctors spent 2-3x as long in graduate school/training as lawyers, studying much harder throughout and working 70-80 hours weeks for a salary that even the lowest shitlawyer would wince at during residency. Most of them deal with nasty bodily, interact with terrible patients, and see death and other depressing terrible events on a regular basis. They spend their lives surrounded by the physically ill, the ugly, and the miserable. And with rising malpractice premiums and the looming nationalization of the U.S. Healthcare industry, a majority of medical students no longer feel optimistic about their own futures. To top it off, most doctors don't make significantly more than most biglaw-caliber lawyers - and they don't start earning serious money until significantly later.
But on XOXO, these two professions admittedly dominate law in every possible way and are filled with fulfilled, rich 6'3" alphas who coast through life doing what they love for 50 hours a week and slaying 10s with ease. So you have me there. |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:20 AM Author: Swashbuckling ruby skinny woman partner no offense buddy but yes there are downsides to all 3 jobs but any biglaw would trade his career and his left nut in a second to be a high finance baller or a doctor.
u haven't worked in any of the 3 so please stfu. |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:22 AM Author: Bistre unhinged set To be fair,
Go look up the statistics on the % of medical doctors who say that they would not advise their children to follow them into medicine. Then slip in the shower.
"u haven't worked in any of the 3"
OK. |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:25 AM Author: Swashbuckling ruby skinny woman partner no matter what the % is, i bet u WAY more biglaw associates dont want their children to do law. hell, i'd say 90% of fucking lawyers THEMSELVES regret going to law school.

Me: Laughing at you. |

Yes. Yes, I am.
It really is amazing to me how prolish so many people on this board are. It couldn't be clearer that a ton of people around here don't actually know any doctors/PE guys IRL... probably due to the fact that they're too busy mindlessly jacking off to what they imagine that those people are like on the internet instead. |

|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:17 AM Author: Big Amethyst Chapel Ratface I realize xoxo is unduly pessimistic. But there is literally no other place to find information on this. TLS is full of 0Ls (and 1L-2L looking for employment info).
At least xoxo has some (although I realize not a lot) of biglawyers who have been in the practice for multiple years. |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:20 AM Author: Bistre unhinged set To be fair,
...and how many of those biglawyers are going to be self-loathing faggots convinced that they have the worst lot in life? How many will have actual real-life experience in both consulting and biglaw so that they can provide a meaningful, insightful, balanced comparison? Just look at the responses ITT and ask yourself who the fuck these people actually are when they turn off the computer for the night. |
|
Date: June 4th, 2012 12:39 AM Author: Big Amethyst Chapel Ratface Yeah, I do realize responses here definitely vary in accuracy. For example 90% of the responses in this thread seem to be by one overly pessimistic poster who claims to be in biglaw but gets a basic fact about it wrong.
Kind of frustrating, to be honest. I just need a much larger sample size. |
