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?
Show your intent in the meantime by doing courses for the same and trying to handle matters that related to IB (Cap marks, B&F, PE, Private client and so on). Some part hinges on your gmat score (in the new FE, try above 720, it is really tough now) and even more on your essay.
IB sounds good bahar se, but the working hours are even more insane than in our line of work, so make sure you actually have a passion for this. There are other fields like consulting (MBB, EY Parthenon, Deloitte and so on) that have similar hours but not as bad as IB.
I had a cousin who quit within a month from a renowned firm because he didn't want to subject himself to that for the rest of life. He's doing REALLY well abroad now
Looking for advice from the ones who have first-hand experience.
