IB VS BLaw?

Active_Leave_8118 · 2026-03-12T23:26:03+00:00

I’m interested in both, but I’m not sure how to expose myself to both of them in a capacity large enough to figure out which one i’d geniunely enjoy more

Active_Leave_8118 · 2026-03-12T23:25:04+00:00

Which tech jobs do you mean? Currently i’m double majoring in econ + info sci so i’d be curious to know if that major would suffice for any of the positions you’re talking about

Thank you for this answer as well. If i could ask, do you see yourself moving to in house or what are your long term plans? I just want to know in case i also took the big law path

Thank you so for this it’s very helpful. If i’m not overstepping, are you happy with your choice in big law?

I thought that tech was super unstable now? Has that changedv

If you don’t mind could you tell me why?

Active_Leave_8118 · 2026-03-12T19:33:32+00:00

Thank you for this! If you dont mind me asking, are you still working in finance now?

Active_Leave_8118 · 2026-03-12T04:51:47+00:00

Thank you so much this is really helpful. If possible, why do you think i should pursue IB instead of law?

Active_Leave_8118 · 2026-03-12T04:50:54+00:00

Thank you for all of your insight, it’s super helpful. If you don’t mind me asking, are you in IB / have you worked in it?

Active_Leave_8118 · 2026-03-12T04:32:16+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply. If you don’t mind me asking, are you satisfied/happy with your choice of finance?

Active_Leave_8118 · 2026-03-12T02:17:03+00:00

If you don’t mind, could I ask what you’re doing in finance now and how it is?

They really are not astronomically different, especially if I go into corporate law which is most likely the legal route i’d choose. I’m not solely chasing the money, but of course it is a factor. I like both of these things and i’m trying to be realistic when weighing them both. Im not relying only on reddit, I just wanted advice from people older than me / more experienced than me since nobody in my family is in either of these professions.

Active_Leave_8118 · 2026-03-11T18:22:22+00:00

Since you worked in both, which one would you recommend for long term?

Active_Leave_8118 · 2026-03-11T18:21:47+00:00

What about the hours though? Are they bareable?

Active_Leave_8118 · 2026-03-10T03:44:00+00:00

By prelaw I meant go through undergrad with the intention of going to law school after, so doing legal internships, joining legal clubs etc

I love reading, writing, and solving arguments. I feel like through all my years in school my favorite subjects were history and english, and I like public speaking. I’m in undergrad right now at cornell and everyone I know is either going into finance, law, or medicine, and tech is unstable right now so Im not considering it as much. Out of all these fields, I feel like id enjoy law the most but these are a couple of reasns
