Does it make sense to do a law degree after MBA and many years in the working world? No correlation to anything I am doing with clients, but I feel foundational knowledge of law should be for everyone. Just not sure if there is a ROI.

    Absolutely not. 3 years of negative income to be unable to give legal advice to clients. Only if you have $300k to burn and want to hate yourself during a sabbatical. I went to law school and it has not provided me with significant quantifiable consulting benefits.

    Only go to law school if you want to become a lawyer

    And only go to law school if you really know you want to become a lawyer, because basically everything about the process sucks. Studying for the LSAT sucks, taking the LSAT sucks, applying to law school sucks, law school sucks, OCI sucks, (summer associate summer at a big law firm doesn’t suck but this is the exception), oh hey congrats you’ve graduated, your $300,000 loan payments start now and if you’re lucky enough to have landed a big law gig where you’ll actually be able to pay off those loans, say goodbye to any form of social life for the next 5 years and if you’re not in big law then be prepared to die with your student loans still not being paid off.

I was just terminated from the deals group. I’ve let myself go in terms of my health and weight. I figured I’d use a good chunk of the severance time to get in shape over the summer and focus on my health but my friends and family are pushing me to find a way to juggle both and call me crazy for taking my time. My plan is to build a morning routine of fitness and work that into my new schedule when I’m rehired. Any thoughts ?

Question for the ladies out there. As a male, when I run into female coworkers outside of work do you prefer an awkwardly formal handshake, an awkward side hug (though I wouldn’t side hug you in the office) or to awkwardly do nothing and start talking with no physical gesture?

I spent some time at Deloitte and hated it for many reasons. I have an offer on the table with KPMG and wondering if the culture there is any better. Any insights from someone who worked at both?
