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?
Getting in through contacts is contra productive for I banks/ VC Funds, because carry interests are given to the analysts and the work is not actually clerical/ but very client front end. The Associates' work at a Law firm can easily be done by even a law student, as is evident from the internships. On the contrary, Finance summer internships are solely based for assessment and not the unpaid labour fraud law firms do.
Also, seriously contemplating leaving commercial litigation in favour of either policy work or just do an MBA and get into marketting (I know quite a bit about digital marketting, designing etc.).
O learned crowd of LI! Shed thy light.
