I am aiming for a role in investment.

Would a position in deal strategy at a Big Four firm or a Portfolio Analyst role at a asset management firm be more suitable

I would suggest the asset management firm. There will be more of an overlap with other roles which you can explore too

Thank you

I'm a brand new attorney (passed the Feb 2021 bar) who started an in-house counsel position a few months ago (where my focus is negotiating agreements for the sale of my company's software). I was a contracts manager on an in-house team for 4 years prior, which is why I was able to go straight in-house. I'm entirely skipping out on firm life, which feels both good and bad. Is there anything I should think about getting experience in? How should I go about making sure I am seeing enough things?
