I don’t; IB recruiting is p rigid so I don’t see how they’d lateral over without and MBA or something. Plus if you’re an associate you’re just about to hit the sweet spot of a law career after years of gunning for it so idk why you’d wanna switch. 

 

Send me a PM please - did law and then went into IB in LDN. 

Hk will be difficult for you - best bet is to get a FT here - then spend 2 years here before lateralling back. I keep getting calls to join GS and DB in HK LOL

Comp is much lower in law and WLB is still pretty ass. Understand why they want to leave.
