undergraduate big law summer intern or blackstone?
Hi everyone!
I have had the privilege of receiving two offers. Although they are both very different companies, both make sense for my trajectory. One is a summer intern role at a BigLaw firm (think White&Case, Cleary, Kirkland) and I have a public affairs summer role offer at Blackstone as well! I am having a tough time deciding which would make more sense? I am on the pre law track at USC but am interested in the legal side of banking! what would you do and why? BigLaw offer pays more but is lacking a traditional intern class with less camaraderie than BX but is the collegiate aspect worth it for pre law admissions?
TIA!
Definitely big law
I'm an ex-lawyer. If you are pre-law I'd suggest going to Blackstone.
Going to be more recognizable than almost all biglaw firms for non-legal firms and will be still very brand-name for summer associate recruiting down the line / loosely topical with public affairs if you make it to law school as well. This is a different calculus than if you were choosing between a summer associate seat.
Basically my view can be summed into for prelaw:
1. If you go to a legal career BX = Biglaw.
2. If you decide to do non-legal BX > Biglaw.
