<p>The name buys a lot of leverage. Thankfully, the legal profession won’t consider anyone who can’t pass the bar exam :)</p>
<p>As far as marriage goes, if I’m an associate at a major law firm (already resigned myself to the fact that I’ll never make partner-nor do I want to make partner), I wouldn’t be looking outside my office for someone to marry, I’d be looking far, far away from the office. I’d never marry someone working in the same profession, let alone working for the same employer. Too messy.</p>
<p>That said, I’m not cut out for IB period. Too risk-averse.</p>
