MBA, no question
Perspective: Have JD, currently finishing up MBA from target school.
Thoughts: Only get a JD if you know you want to be an attorney. None of those types of businesses recruit at law school OCR for finance roles. MBA far more applicable / flexible.
What about joint JD/MBA programs?
Don't do it unless you have a very good reason.
Never understood why some people went for this joint degree, given that JD and MBA do not complement each other. Having legal background will not help you become a better banker (and vice versa), unless you work at a distressed debt shop, in which case being able to read and understand case law can potentially help (then again, you don't need 3 years of law school to be able to read case law).
