Law

Is it possible to lateral from 2-3yr associate at Big law in NYC to a MBB firm as possibly em/pl level?

Graduated from T6 law school and feeling not happy here with the work regarding corporate finance.

Prior to law school, did my bachelor in business and did internships at pe and jp morgan ibd, with 1 year full time as bb analyst

What do you dislike about biglaw? Currently would love to do 2 yrs IBD post grad then go to a T7 law school. Was it worth it for you and what would you do differently?
