Your experience as a lawyer is very irrelevant imo. It is very easy for an investment banker to become a M&A lawyer after a few years of work, but not vice versa. The same applies for most of corporate practice. You should have come to realize this if you've been in it for a few years. Corporate law is not difficult at all for intelligent people, most bulge bracket bankers I know pretty much know the Listing Rules at least as well as me, if not better.

Are you good quantitatively? Are you familiar with advanced modelling (even in Excel, not to mention other technologies like Stata or Python which some banks use)? Are you prepared to be tested on this in an interview? Do you know how to perform regression analysis, up to at least a Gaussian process model?

Your post does have some ambiguity. If you are looking to take on a non-quant role, then go ahead. But I don't see why you would - it's less prestige and less money.

Is anyone else going A&G for TC in 2023? Shall we make a list?

Big 4 is about 20% front loaded. So assuming $6,000 - base is $4,800 and frontloaded component is $1,200. If there are any year ended bonuses it will be X months based on base salary (i.e. the $4,800).

What if your performance is terrible that year, can they claw back the $1,200?

That is entirely dependent on your own/team/department/firm performance, whether your partner likes you, the economy etc. I've heard of it going as high as 6 months, and of course 0 month also happens especially if your partner doesn't like your or performance isn't good, and in this current economy.
