Hello,
I am freshman at a top public (one of UNC, UVA, UMich), and I'm interested in pursuing a legal career in either an IB or at a top law firm that works with IB, PE, HF, etc firms. I plan to double major in Finance and Public Policy and likely go to law school right after graduation. Especially since law school is getting easier to get into, I'm hoping to at least land a spot at one of the Ivies.
I'm wondering if anyone on here has any experience with going into the legal side of NYC finance.
I'm interested in pursuing internships and ultimately a full-time career in the field, and while I know how to research which are available, I'm interested in hearing about the hiring process, workload, comp, etc from people who have personally undergone it. I'm a URM as well if that can help with special programs or internships.
Overall, I'd just love to hear from anyone currently working in that field and their overall experience. Thank you so much.
