Law firms definitely pay well. Also, as far as public accounting firms, CohnReznick definitely pays well. If you’re looking for

There typically isn’t a need for someone in tax in such a specialized area at a law firm. At least in the internal tax department. If you’re going to be working with the lawyers structuring deals and all, then that’s a completely different department, one that I don’t know much about, and one that you’d need a JD for. My guess is that job would pay 250+ (you could probably negotiate for north of 3 if you were what they’re looking for and the firm is big enough), but I don’t think they’d consider anyone without a JD to work with the attorneys. If you’re looking to just work in a law firm’s internal tax department, you could probably still acclimate beautifully to this job (again, your M&A background probably isn’t necessary, but they just want smart people who are good with dealing with state and local tax issues and composite tax issues, dealing with tax authorities, etc.). There aren’t that many of those jobs but they can be very sweet if you can find them

Generally SaaS companies, they usually to give decent salaries along with some great equity.

Insurance company accountants are paid pretty well because it's pretty specialized. Still probably less than tech companies tho

You’re definitely right, I audited an insurance client for quite some time, but the technical aspects of it were so boring to me. Those guys deserve every penny 😂

Oil & gas companies tend to pay really well - you’ll also probably face regular layoff scares

Seriously, financial reporting team on one oil and gas company I know is only 7 people excluding the controller and CFO.
