Ross hands down. UCLA is great for media and entertainment

On campus or remote?

Ross

I would argue if you’re doing an exec mba it doesn’t really matter. If you’re doing the Ross satellite program then UCLA for sure. Otherwise, Ross is your best bet.

Also, getting hard to keep track of all of the program formats. Kind of diluting the brands IMHO.

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any?

Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?

I see a lot of Jr. Level folks (myself included) in this bowl asking about certain finance exit opps like MM IB and PE etc.

At some point is the comp that much better?

From Big4 Transparency: S1/MCOL/2YOE/FDD making $97k. Managers MCOL close to $150k.

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?

Thoughts?
