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.🤷🏻‍♂️

Can anyone let me know how easy it is to apply to a consulting firm in Dubai directly coming from London? I am currently working at a T2 strategy firm in London and my partner and I want to relocate in ~1.5 years. My firm does not have an office in Dubai whilst my partners firm does. Is it possible to apply straight (rather than moving laterally in London, waiting a few years then transferring?) interested in MBB views too. (I would have roughly 2.5 YOE by then)
