Back Office or Investment Banking?

Kid in my firms back office got an investment banking offer...

he has not resigned because he is thinking about the offer... may get in the way of his lsat prep..

I say its a no brainer... did i miss something or is he smartest dumb kid i know?

Even at top law schools, competition for large firm jobs is intense. There were a lot of layoffs in the great recession and there are still offer deferrals that are hurting recruitment at big-law firms. I hear this stuff second hand from Columbia law students, but this seems to be the trend from reading blogs including abovethelaw.

 

Perhaps he is using the offer as leverage to get another firm to interview/give him an offer, and is just using the LSAT as an excuse for the time being (since it certainly sounds better to say you might be taking the LSAT over saying you are looking at other shops)

looking for that pick-me-up to power through an all-nighter?
