1L JD here, working in corp dev for 2015 Summer. If I choose to continue to pursue non-legal opportunities, should I be shooting for analyst or for associate positions? (I'm unsure just because most mba targeted things I see require work experience).
No gap between undergrad and law school and my grades are Biglaw competitive. Law school is at a semi-target undergrad where I have access to OCR.
This is a tough jump with 0 work experience. You would apply as an Associate. Law school grades obviously need to be tight, semi target likely not going to cut it tbh. T14 at least, preferably T6 or higher. Obviously qualitative aspect of why not law when networking / interviewing is going to be important, as will be your mastery of intro finance (or at least memorize the guides).
And you should be networking. Regardless of OCR access given your situation you will need someone to speak up for you at the table.
Country if I recall correctly, you are a JD/MBA. Did you shoot for finance before you entered the dual degree program, or did you just enter the MBA program and then start applying?
Both. I tried to do the straight JD path but wasn't making any progress and all my conversations ended with that I should enroll in the MBA so I did that. Once I had the MBA on the resume -- I don't want to say it was easy -- but it was an immense amount easier. I was at a T6/M7 though so I had the school brand going, good law school grades, previous finance related work experience, etc. I do know of 1 person who was able to go straight from JD without the MBA and in fact he had no work experience -- he was straight through. I don't know him well so I have no idea how he pulled it off. So that said, it is possible but its a long long shot.
