Because you want to due diligence all day? I’d only leave big law for a big4 national tax practice.
I am—good to know, thanks!
No unless you want to do compliance. That is, be in the tax group instead of legal.
If you want to just go in-house generally (i.e., a fund or F500), unlikely (unless, possibly, you’re at a crappy BL firm). Ultimately, your exit will typically match your experience - fund formation, PE M&A, credit, RE, international. Not sure there’s a reason to pivot to B4 (though the experience is really great (possibly better than certain BL firms) in certain groups) unless you wanted to develop a particular skill set to leverage for in-house and this may be speculative.
Fed/Sub K/international M&A. They have different names in the B4, but those provide broad transactional experience. Again, if you had a crystal ball on how you’d exit, you might prefer one of those groups over the others. Some WNT groups are good (support the groups I mentioned), but their practice can be very narrow.
Not really. You will only be more attractive for Tax Manager (e.g., tax planning) roles, which are roles that require a JD or CPA. They pay less (and are not drafting focused) than Tax Counsel (JD required) roles which you can get leaving a law firm. Would also depend on the type of tax you did in a law firm. Transaction Tax and Partnership tax can get you in to a PE bank or hedge fund; international for a multinational corp.
As a biglaw tax associate you be a good canditate for an inhouse job as tax counsel on the tax team - not legal. Hard to get on legal team without corporate experience.
