Im starting at 25 right now. Always wanted to do it. PT sucks, and I'll have no life for the foreseeable 3-4 years, but worth it for me. I don't mind competing with people younger than me. I'll have several years of Big 4 experience on my resume that sets me apart from them in biglaw/whatever other corporate law.

It's a pretty saturated market so it would depend on what your goal is... 😃

Depends on what kind of law you want to practice. Corporate law? You'll be competing with peers five years younger than you for those prime firm jobs. Public law? Yes but be ready for a pretty big pay cut. Factor in the market, potential debt, and opportunity costs - it's a hard sell unfortunately

Post-MBA, 5 weeks into consulting and I hate the weekends. It means I’m one week deeper in the job, and therefore performing another week lower than the level I’m expected to perform at. I have fucked up so much (led a disastrous client meeting, mistakes, slow to answer Qs, etc). My boss is picking up that this isn’t a “new” issue, its a me issue. I try my best to improve but I still feel so anxious, to the point that I started crying at my desk. What do I do? Anyone here quit within a month?
