Hello all! I am another JD coinsidering a move into finance and seeking advice.

I came across this site a while ago and as someone in the legal/RE business field who is seriously considering moving completely into finance, this site looked like a great place to get some advice, first hands accounts, etc.

My undergrad is in Business Management and I went to a top 5 law school but I never worked at a firm, I went in-house to a small RE company doing a mix of legal and business work. I have always been drawn to economics and finance and I am just trying to learn more about potential routes I could take and where I'd fit in best.

Are JDs without finance experience general welcome in PE & HF? Would my skill set fit in better on the buy side?

I appreciate any and all advice and input. Looking forward to hearing from you guys. Cheers!
