[quote=Anonymous]You should look at Capital One. I have a bunch of ex JD friends there - don't know exactly what they do but it's clearly a refuge for some. There are also some boutique M&A consulting firms out there.

I wouldn't broach the topic as "Do you hire JDs as MBAs?" because it highlights the potential for a skills gap. I know you can't say but I'm assuming we're talking top tier firm; you don't need to negotiate against yourself - it's uphill already. If I we're you I'd leave that question alone: it is only asking "at what level can I come in?" I think the other poster had it framed up well - "Any guidance on how others have made the shift from law?". If his answer is "You start as a Sr. Associate rather than an engagement manager because"  ..., you've got your answer.

Finally ... I assume your life sucks at big law but keep in mind it'll be no better at a top tier firm (BCG/Bain/McK) or at most mid tier (Deloitte). Long hours, travel, shitty partners, crappy boring cities.

Also I get the sense you are making it a bigger concern (the convo) than it should be. Treat it like any client interaction you had at big law and you'll be fine. Professional, curteous, thankful of the time, etc. Don't stress over it.
