We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Your best bet would be to get an MBA and then apply. Assuming you have 2-3 years of CM experience, it'll work in your favour - both for business school applications and post graduation outcomes.
Without it, you can shift to tier-2 and tier-3 investment firms. But do keep in mind that thousands of applicants from engineering and non-IIM MBA schools keep applying to these firms. So going through the standard application process won't yield much. Find a mid-level employee already working at that place - through friends or clients - and get them to refer you. You'll still have to give compelling reasons in the interview though - as to why they should hire someone with no knowledge of finance, quant and business management.
