<p>Am I missing anything? Is 2 years worth of work experience enough for the top B-schools?</p>

<p>The average is 5 years of experience, and 2 is a bit low. The problem with a JD/MBA isn’t only that people generally go into these programs at different times, or that only a handful of schools have truly elite programs in both, but that it doesn’t really help your job prospects. In fact, it could hurt them.</p>
<p>Top law students all want jobs at exclusive firms that deal with law and pay very high starting salaries. This is great, except that those firms don’t give you applicable business experience, and after a few years, if you want to switch to business, you’ll probably just be doing legal work in the back office for some MBAs anyway. However, another problem that arises much earlier is that these top law firms will see a JD/MBA and hesitate to hire you, knowing that you probably aren’t as devoted to law as someone who actually spent an entire 3 years in the law school.</p>
<p>Business students want jobs at high finance and consulting firms. It would definitely be easier to go into consulting with a JD than to work for a law firm with an MBA. However, MBA programs are only 2 years, and your JD will likely get minimal use, so you might as well save yourself a year or two of paying tuition and start making money. Then there’s always the possibility that you could have someone in the business world wondering why you have a JD, too.</p>
