“When you come in to law school, you don’t necessarily have to practice law. It teaches you a skill set that is more transferable than other kinds of skills, with a focus on critical thinking and hard work…If you want to do something that’s not traditional, go for it. Don’t be afraid that you’re going to miss out because of what you think you’re supposed to do. Give it a shot.” –Darian Amirsaleh talks investment management, advice for NYU law students, and his favorite classes: https://ow.ly/hGFW50UHRZB

“I didn’t think that I would ever want to do tax. I just knew I wanted to do corporate transactional work, and someone advised me to take federal income tax because it would be important. I was really, really dreading it. But I took it, and now here I am, years later…I would just say be open-minded, because I never thought that I would like it at all. Tax is in everything. No matter what you’re dealing with and what sector, tax comes into play.” –Ana Cardenas LLM ’19 discusses her transition from Big Law to the IRS, how she changed her mind on tax law, and her favorite memories from NYU: https://ow.ly/O8LH50UFtOe

We asked students about the hardest class they took this semester–civil procedure is not for the faint-hearted.
