How does one get an in-house job at GS or JP Morgan? What would the pay/hours look like?

One would work at S&C and DPW, respectively.

Why these two banks specifically?

Nothing in particular about these 2. What would the pay/hours look like for an in-house position at one of these 2?

Pay is below biglaw and depends on your year. Hours are slightly better than biglaw but not by much. Those places are basically like midlaw firms. People looking to lateral inhouse typically aim for an AGC position at a company or PE/HF but will settle for a bank if they're really unhappy.

Damn, that sounds fucking horrible. I'd go with some chill f500 company - people are generally out by 6.

One of the main benefits to going in house is not having to record your billables. Generally if you are making 200k+ in any career, it's unlikely you'll be working a typical 9-5 or 9-6 job (obviously not true everywhere, but generally I would say average would be 10-11 hours a day). The difference is you aren't going to be dividing up your day into 6 minute increments, which drives some people crazy.

OP, you are not yet a law student and not allowed to ask questions in this forum. Because you posted anon I can't move it to the Ask a Law Student/Grad forum, so I'm locking this thread. You've been warned not to post in the wrong forum; continuing to do so may result in a ban.
