Has anyone gone to law school after working in public accounting for a couple of years? I am currently an A2 in IT Audit (campus hire) and just kind of wanting to know if this is a good option or if I’m crazy.

2.5 years of experience at a mid-tier and licensed CPA. Pretty done with public accounting and thinking of switching over to coding. Anyone have thoughts or tips?

Hi - I’ve moved to Toronto (from Asia) with 5 YOE in Corporate banking + 2 YOE IB/capital markets (7 YOE in TOTAL) working roles in Front Office and financial analysis.

Also any tips on networking would be appreciated. Thank you!
