There are recruiters that specialize in tax, including ones that specialize in placing tax in house. I tried going in house earlier this year, nothing compelling came up so I’m still in biglaw 😅

I am an in-house tax counsel at a Fortune 100 company. My suggestion is look past titles and apply to jobs that are “Tax Planning” roles regardless of whether they are “counsel” positions or not. Unless you’re doing controversy work (which is rare to find a company who needs a full time tax controversy lawyer), most companies are indifferent to whether you have a law degree or CPA so long as you have the right experience. Just like Big4 Tax. You may be able to negotiate a dual title if that’s important to you once you have an offer.

Hi There, Can you tell what percentage variable pay is paid on an average in Hexaware and how good on-site opportunities for UK projects in course of time.

Hello Fishes,
One query, I have received an offer letter from Wipro (Career Group: C1) with package of 28 LPA, out of which INR 420000 is allocated as 'Variable Pay' which will be paid on quarterly basis'. Need to know how much % would generally be paid out? Is it 100% or less as per the individual/organization performance.

I love my job, idk what you guys are complaining about...

Has anyone dealt with stuffing allocation in a non-hedge fund context? It seems even in the HF world the law is fuzzy in using aggregate reverse 704c principles in stuffing allocations. Like, sure, the market is there but no authority really blessed it (other than some Cravath partner’s article in Tax Notes in 2013). If we are talking asset class that isn’t really like marketable securities but might be able to treat it similarly solely by virtue of, say, valuation on a quarterly basis (contd)

Transitioning from com. lit into tax controversy?

I have a tax LLM and started my career out of law school doing M&A tax at a big4. After 9 months, I got out of big4 transactional hell and into whatever litigation I could find. I now practice commercial lit but would welcome the opportunity to eventually transition into tax controversy (which I wasn’t able to do before). Does my commercial litigation “break” hurt my prospect? How long can I stay in com lit without hurting my chances even more?
