M7 MBA vs M7 JD? Came across the following comment while researching dual JD/MBA. I've always been fascinated with law and represented myself in several small claims suits against medium sized businesses and won, got a big kick out of it.

It doesn’t make sense if you only view school as a stepping stone directly to a certain job. Some people genuinely think that the education and network they’d gain from a JD/MBA make the extra investment worth it

If you like law, a JD from a top program will open just as many doors as an MBA. You’ll end up on the GC / compliance track and be in management. It is unlikely you will ever be in a court room unless you want to be, especially as an in-house counsel.

Only jobs I think it might make sense would be if you want to start your own practice or if you want to become a chief legal officer for a corporation. Even then you probably don’t need both degrees.🤷🏻‍♂️

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.
