Are there still remote opportunities for tax attorneys at law firms? Or has this ship sailed now that many firms have initiated RTO? I’m a JD/LLM and have been at a Big 4 firm primarily because they have been willing to accommodate my needs for remote flexibility (family reasons). I see various lawyers on fishbowl mentioning that they are fully remote but I rarely see remote-eligible job postings for tax attorneys.

I’ve been searching for a while but it seems like RTO is real, even CPA firms are getting more strict about it as of late.

Definitely agree. My firm has been pushing for RTO hard since fall of 2021.

Going from big 4 to law firms has its own challenges, a lot of law firms are also going RTO. You also need to understand that tax slots even at major firms are rare, even major offices only have a handful of tax folks.

Good luck! Your prior firm experience should definitely help.

I went from B4 to law firm and we’re in 3x mandatory. Cry.

Ugh, well hopefully the work is more fulfilling at least.

Did you find the remote position you were looking for?

No, I have not

it feels like every survey about working from home is (poorly) designed to answer the useless question "would you rather work from home or from the office." I submit that the set of people who prefers to have only one of those two options, always and forever, is the null set. which means it DOES NOT MATTER because the correct answer is always going to be "make both possible." you're welcome, HR departments everywhere.
