Have you ever checked out FINS.com? It's a career site over at the Wall Street Journal that focuses on finance jobs and financial professionals.
Now why would I be referring those trained in the law to a finance jobs site? Well it's the economy stupid! You see according to FINS, 2011 will continue to see the finance industry rebounding. Of course the fact that the environment will become subject to more regulations spells the need to interpret and apply legalese.
So lawyers who spent time ?specializing ?in corporate law, real estate, compliance, contract management, M & A, due diligence, trusts and estates, anti-money laundering and others of similar ilk, should check out the job boards of companies like Deloitte, PWC and JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America to see how many jobs are available with these magic words:
J.D. degree a plus?
Now if you are thinking of transitioning from the law firm to the finance company because work/life balance is a big issue for you then you might want to think again. FINS has been publishing a series of articles on Women on Wall Street and though not exceptionally encouraging, it is clear that there is some concern, discussion and even efforts around designing sustainable initiatives to not only retain women but also to improve flexibility and diversity in the world of finance.
