Yeah defo not the lunch booze culture, and I did find that people don't often follow through on social things. What I mean is you'll arrange to meet up and do something after work, and it never happens

Well good luck with the green card, it will take forever unless you get married...

And btw OP, its hard! Fun but hard! Also depends where you're looking to head...

Would either be SF or NY. How was the difference in culture? London is very booze/lunch heavy. I can imagine it's lesser out there.

^Yeah, Americans aren't very social

I was thinking they were social in ways other than drinking 8 pints with lunch haha!

Hmm. That's a shame. At present my client is a top 3 in billings Europe so social things are multiple times a week. I'd be willing to leave it all behind if it meant more money and more responsibility though.

The making friends part isn't my worry - I've always been able to do that and my girlfriend has experience living in both cities as she is from DC originally and works in tech. Only hurdle is getting the green card. It's either being sponsored or getting married - and I am too junior to get sponsored realistically.

Lol we actually have a pretty decent number of events. Lunch boozing is a bit more rare but there's other stuff and if your young and comfortable enough to move to another city go for it! NY is a great place to live!

Hello guys. Need your help please. How do you get calls from product based companies?. Do you apply for jobs on Naukri/LinkedIn? Or apply directly on their website? Or is there any other way?. Because I see so many openings and apply but no one ever responds. Please help.

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?
