Big Law Blows

Title basically sums things up. I was a finance major and made the stupid mistake of going to law school and ended up doing M&A at a top 5 firm. I’m a 4th year and looking to get to the business side ASAP. My mind is already made up on making the transition but curious to hear people’s thoughts on 1) firms / banks most willing to take JDs and 2) for those who have had exposure to both, lifestyle of IB compared to Big Law. Thanks in advance monkeys
