Currently in m&a tax with just CPA. I've wanted a JD, but should I go for it even though I already got the job? Assuming the firm won't cover any tuition either.

Great question.

No, doesn’t seem worth it unless you want to better your exit opportunities

Only go to law school if you’re passionate about studying the law. It’s too much of a commitment if that’s not the case. I started in law and ended up in tax. I still love the law and don’t regret it.

I worked with a guy who left B4 to go to law school and study corporate law. He is now a corporate lawyer. He took time to make that decision. I gave him the same advice.

If you do it solely for career advancement you’ll be miserable. And you don’t need it at this point.

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
