IB vs Corporate Law Ops?
I know this is the big crossroads question that frequently pops up on WSO but I am genuinely split.
A bit of background: I'm an incoming freshman humanities student at a Russell Group university in England. I have a decent degree of numerical literacy (did Maths A-Level and enjoy reading about Finance in my spare time) but I will admit that as a humanities major, I feel closer to words and writings than numbers and graphs.
Within my immediate network, there were humanities majors working as IB analysts but they always wanted to do IB (never at the IB vs Law crossroads like me) and the humanities majors working as corporate lawyers also knew they wanted to be lawyers from the dawn of time. No one seemed to be in my shoes.
I did meet a retired senior banker who was kind enough to have a proper sit-down chat with me. The ending judgement was that he saw me more suitable as a corporate lawyer given my degree choice but told me not to rule out IB completely.
So, it doesn't help really. It seems it's a 50:50 at the moment - maybe I am leaning towards law ever so slightly.
Are there any former dual BigLaw/IB bankers on WSO here who could provide their $0.02? (Pros/Cons of your experience on both sides, the reason for your move and any nuggets of wisdom)
