Does a high graduate GPA (3.96 in MSc Finance) make up for a low undergrad GPA (3.43 in Finance)? I also passed the level 1 CFA but unsure whether the low undergraduate GPA is going to close a few doors at the top programs (at HBS, SBB and Wharton)

How do I leave in house? Serious question. I am young in my career and landed my first gig in house after being out of school for a year. The legal department is new but the company is 35 years old. The first year after I graduated I took on a compliance position. Now I am stuck being a jack of all trades and I only have 8 months of solid legal experience. Anyone found a way to overcome this and leave? I have had a terrible experience but I have learned a lot.

Junior attorney currently at a firm. I worked as an intern in-house for over a year before starting work at the firm and I loved it. I’d love to be a GC. I decided to opt for firm work to build up my credentials and I’ve been at the firm for roughly 2 years. When should I move back in-house?

Process tips for finding the right in-house counsel role would be much appreciated! I’m currently a 4th year (going on to be a 5th year) M&A associate at a V5. I think I likely will stay for another year or so at my firm, to build more experience and also save up some more money. When should I start looking for in-house? Should I apply to multiple, try interviewing with a few of them? How does one come to decide whether they want an early stage, series C, D, E, or public c, small team, etc.?

Any renewable energy or solar in house counsels here? Care to share your experience? Thanks in advance. Looking to transition from big law commercial lit.

Is it normal to struggle with the transition to starting your first legal job? I did all the things - graduated law school, passed the bar, started at the big law firm that gave me my SA offer 2 years ago… Now, I’m feeling miserable. It’s only been 2 weeks and I’m not particularly enjoying work. I was totally burnt out on law school at the end and it was a struggle to finish. I figured I was just “over” the law school grind. Now I wonder if I’m actually “over” the law. (Cont’d below)

I was born and raised in Texas, but have aspirations to eventually live and work in NYC for at least a couple of years in my 20’s.

This is to anyone who has lived in Texas/a similar state that made the move.

Whats the timeline of Pre MBA programs of MBB? When do you get an interview if you get it..

Waiting to hear back from an application. Not on waitlist or anything but decision should be available in 2-3 weeks. I’ve already interviewed. Just found out that a family friend of mine was on the board for said school.

Is it worth asking for a rec letter to send as an “update” even though the decision is so soon? Guessing the answer would be “won’t hurt” but I was also planning on leveraging this as an opportunity for a potential re-application to show “improvement”
