What would you tell your 27 year old self?
I have two offers:
-$165k with a City of New York agency
-$130k plus $5k signing bonus with EY Gps
I feel ho-hum about the government job because I’ve been doing it for so long, and also the option for hybrid work is uncertain. But the salary and benefits are obviously appealing.
Any thoughts, especially from those in private consulting?
Do you regret getting a PhD?
As a tax lawyer, I really hope in-house corporate lawyers aren’t structuring their deals…
Agree, A1. But I’m assuming companies that do M&A deals in-house also have in-house tax advisors.

We don’t have in-house tax lawyers, but we do have a team of tax accountants that work with outside counsel on structuring issues. We end up liaising with the tax department. their outside tax counsel, and our external tax consultants (Deloitte) on deals where meaningful tax issues are implicated.
Absent that in-house expertise, as a real estate lawyer and not a tax lawyer, I’d hire outside counsel directly. I’m not qualified to resolve tax issues.
In my experience, small deals are a free for all and all on you. You can get help from finance folks, etc. but you’re on your own otherwise. They should have forms they use. Larger deals will usually have outside counsel assistance.
