Any T&E associates in here who I could talk to? I’m a transactional tax associate at a v5 firm doing M&A and capital markets work and hating it. I’m a 4th year with an LLM and a clerkship and I think I regret not pursuing T&E or private wealth.

Anyone who can give referral for entry level tax position at Deloitte and PWC. Background is JD and NYU tax LLM.

Yep, T&E here, AmLaw 50, 7+ years out. What do you want to know?

That’s really good to hear. I’m currently working a consistent 12-15 hours per day on weekdays and 6-10 on weekends. M&A is also not really the most intellectually challenging area of tax. I suspect I’ll burn out completely in about 3 months at this rate. I would much rather start completely over as a 1st year in a practice area where I would have some longevity than keep this up.

You have a LLM and can market yourself for any tax practice group.
