investment banking vs. big law
Hi all! Hope everyone is doing great! I'm faced with two choices: investment banking summer offer (think Barclays/Credit Suisse/Citi/BoA) & biglaw summer offer (V10 - K&E/DPW/Latham). I was an undergrad business major, and I am thinking that I would ultimately go back to the business side. Would appreciate any suggestions/insights/considerations that you guys have!! Thank you!

Hm, tough question. If I had to pick somewhere to start, it'd be "Do you want to be a lawyer or an investment banker?"
Oh wait, that's it.

Do not practice law if you do not want to be a lawyer

Re: investment banking vs. big law
I think big law hours are a little bit better than IB hours on average (60ish vs 70ish).
IB pays significantly better than biglaw ("market" for BB is roughly 300/350/400 on average as an associate, although IB bonuses are more dependent on your personal / group / firm performance).
If you think you will eventually go back to the business side, I think you should definitely do IB. Your exit options will be way better.
