From IB to Law School in 2025, Thoughts?
Really curious about people's reasoning for going to law school after a 2 year analyst stint in IB. Thanks

There's not really a strong case for this. It's a huge amount of money, all to get back to the salary you made out of college and still work just as many hours on mundane work. If you really want to be a lawyer, do what you gotta do, but I think many of these cases are people feeling completely stuck/unhappy in IB and going back to school feels like a safe option (vs quitting or trying another job they might hate).
Most lawyers will advise you not to go to law school. And big law is IB 2.0.
I would only do this if you are 1000% certain you have no interest in finance at all - not just IB, but some of the better lifestyle exits. IB is a terrible grind even for those who love finance. IMO some of the people who bolt to law school would have been perfectly happy in a more WLB-friendly area of finance
