Does it make sense to do a law degree after MBA and many years in the working world? No correlation to anything I am doing with clients, but I feel foundational knowledge of law should be for everyone. Just not sure if there is a ROI.

    Absolutely not. 3 years of negative income to be unable to give legal advice to clients. Only if you have $300k to burn and want to hate yourself during a sabbatical. I went to law school and it has not provided me with significant quantifiable consulting benefits.

    Only go to law school if you want to become a lawyer

    And only go to law school if you really know you want to become a lawyer, because basically everything about the process sucks. Studying for the LSAT sucks, taking the LSAT sucks, applying to law school sucks, law school sucks, OCI sucks, (summer associate summer at a big law firm doesn’t suck but this is the exception), oh hey congrats you’ve graduated, your $300,000 loan payments start now and if you’re lucky enough to have landed a big law gig where you’ll actually be able to pay off those loans, say goodbye to any form of social life for the next 5 years and if you’re not in big law then be prepared to die with your student loans still not being paid off.

Got laid off from a smaller consulting and the separation memo mentioned that I can’t work for some of the banks. Considering an offer from big 4, do I need to let the new employer know about the memo that I signed?

The key to being promoted (beyond capability) is to be likeable. To be likeable, you need to be relatable. To be relatable, you need to have a wide range of hobbies and interests and appeal to familiarity - eg have kids, watch sports, play golf, etc.
