Our long awaited Bankers vs. Lawyers podcast episode! Wondering about the differences and similarities between traditionally "good" jobs like doctor, banker, and lawyer? Or maybe how to transition from a career in law to one in high finance? We are going to pull back the curtain and explore the business, lifestyle, and culture of "big law", while debunking the myths and misconceptions you may have from watching popular shows like "Suits", "Law and Order", and "The Good Wife".
Today's episode specifically covers Corporate Law and its intersection with high finance. Our incredible guests are two of NYC's most prominent attorneys: Jake Kling of Wachtell Lipton, who specializes in Mergers & Acquisitions law, and Roshni Cariello of Davis Polk, who specializes in Capital Markets law.
We get into the path to becoming an attorney, the process of applying to law school, how important "prestige" of your law school is to landing a job, compensation, hours, culture, and much much more.
