Has anybody felt that our scope of law is too narrow compared to other degrees like MBA/CA/btech
MBAs are doing marketing , sales , Investment banking private equity , venture capital and everything under the sun , plus Btech + MBA and CA+CFA/MBA are most preferable combinations for working in finance and they dominate that field.
Same goes for CAs , all CFOs are CAs , majority big 4 partners/CEOs are CAs , CAs form the 2nd highest number of IB MDs PE partners and MBB partners after MBAs so their scope of work is too broad from tax accounting audit to IB/PE/VC/MBB and equity research/fund managing.
I must not get started at Btech, TECH is the highest paying and most satisfying domain to work for. I can't put forward my jealousy to my engineer friend who did btech from MIT (manipal) and now working in Zomato making 40 lpa with 5YOE @ 40hrs/week.
What do we do ? It's just hopping between law firms or try to get inhouse roles which are already too scarce and not every organization needs CLO while every organization needs CEO CFO and COO.
Hardly 300-400 grads in law get 15L + as fresher in T1 firms while we compare ourselves to broad spectrum of MBAs and CAs/Btech.
If you see top 500 of MBA/CA/BTECH vs Those 500 NLU grads getting 15L + , the former will mog the latter in career trajectory .
