    I have an MBA (not JD), but have worked with others with both. I’ll say it could help for certain specialties in the corporate world (maybe Legal/compliance/HR/Procurement functions). Aside from that, seems to be a waste. An MBA seems a lot more practical.

      Working in M&A thinking PE eventually so the thought is a JD could add value

      Possibly. I don’t know that industry well.

    Look at leaders you care about in PE and see how many have JDs. I’d guess vanishingly few. PE is for ex-I bankers unless you want to do a legal function. Still, school is fun so not bad to spend more time there if you can afford it
