Also, a high level understanding of sub c, k, and S as well as consolidated returns would be beneficial to highlight. Doubt they will go deep into any of that but would help at least show interest in the future work and appreciation for the code. This is all just my 2 cents. Basically what I would look for if I wasn’t going to take just any S1

So it depends on the interviewer and your prior experience but in general, I would try to explain how your prior work is relevant to tax due diligence in some way and how you’re familiar with different tax structures. Also, any understanding you have of the difference between an asset/stock deal as well as interest in tax research would be important to mention.

As mentioned by SA 1, I would highlight your previous experience. If you’re coming in for a manager position, they’ll want to make sure that you can run a deal on your own (with some supervision by the senior manager/md/partner) so being able to talk about your sub c or sub k experience will go a long way. Be ready to talk about tax reform too and any work you may have done on it.

Have no tips, but good luck!

God you guys are auhmazing any more is always appreciated. Gotta get this 🥖🥖

Hey shoutout to everyone thank you for the help it was super fun

That’s great! It went well? Did they ask technical questions?

Find a way to stress that you have good writing skills and that you’re detail oriented; high-level understanding of sub C and K is good but you’ll mostly be dealing with going through large amounts of data and drafting memos your first few years. Your manager and senior will be applying the tax technical.

Does anyone have any idea about these companies? Or what do you suggest.

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?
