like any high finance in general not js ib

depends, for quite a bit of finance jobs it'd probably be more useful to do comm/stem than law/comm. u kinda need to k what finance u want. law's not useful for more quantitative stuff. there's also a case to be made that law takes too much effort even for wanting to get into ibd & ud be better doing comm/stemm there
