Are any of y’all considering an JD-MBA? I want to go into biopharma post-MBA (already in life sciences consulting) and I think I could benefit from a JD as well. But on the otherhand this might just be a naive thought haha

Do the JD to get into big-law and the MBA to get MBB. Outside of those, just network/hustle. Your wallet will thank you.

Agree with D1 - don’t think JD is necessary for biopharma. That said, I applied to three accelerated JD/MBAs this year so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hello guys!!
Can anyone of you please help me out? Or atleast some advice!!

I'm a bit confused between Accenture and Bain & Company.
I've offers from both of these firms with almost similar package. The role is not related to consulting but more into the technical+business side.
If I go with Bain, will it be more fruitful wrt brand value and job switch in next few years?
Also, how is the hike and compensation benefits for the employees at Bain?

Any sort of help/advice is more than welcome!
