Yes. The business school is recruiting grounds for a number of firms, such as Lazard, Jefferies, Lazard, HSBC and a number of others. That being said, spending 4 years to gain the same position that you could in 2 years at business school might not be as valuable(from an opportunity cost perspective). I know that's not the question you asked. I'm more than happy to discuss offline. Best of luck.

Play the long game - give back, help out, mentor - just don't ever forget where you came from. #Bootstrapped

I'm currently an undergrad at Goizueta interning in banking and I know several MBA's and one JD/MBA. Emory's MBA program places a couple people into associate roles at BB's. That said. Undergrads seem to do better at banking recruiting. On the other hand, MBA's do seem to do better at MBB consulting recruiting though, so if you're interested in consulting it might be the spot.

If I were you, I'd actually try to go into restructuring/reorgnization banking (as opposed to a bankruptcy practice). Might not sound as sexy as M&A or transaction law, but consider that distressed debt funds are the fastest growing. And even with the economy picking up, firms are still going under. If you get yourself into top restructuring and you have a JD/MBA, you'll do very well monetarily and truly leverage the skills you're so dearly paying for.

Well said. Very thoughtful and honest.
