Interesting assumption that it’d be “back to” consulting when well over 50% have an IBD background…

like

For sure. It’s just interesting to me to see all these posts where people seem to assume it’s consultants and former consultants only in here.

I was in the bowl back when I still worked in IBD

Hello, I’m an associate (almost at the one year mark) at a midsize firm on the EPL team. I did about 2 years of employment law as a clerk during school and know that’s what I want to go into. I’ve asked for more EPL work but keep catching PI cases. I second-chaired an employment trial but don’t see any EPL work for the foreseeable future and wasn’t getting as much EPL exposure as I wanted before the trial. Any advice on a lateral move to a bigger firm with a broader range of EPL work?

Does where you get your masters degree matter?
