Just want to get out of private practice asap

Pardon me for asking, why are you underpaid?

Any lawyer turned banker/m&a IB that care to share your experience? For the same amount of **** hours and stress, why do the compliance paper work when you can go work on the deal itself.

Do you have the skillsets? Are you willing to network and beg for a chance to learn on the job? If not, forget about it. The transition is not easy at all.

I know friends who have done it. They fall into two categories - (1) either they had the finance skills to begin with (e.g. double degree, or did their own learning), or (2) they begged for a chance to prove themselves and nearly died learning on the job.
