Currently doing R&D tax as senior and have an offer to move to International Tax as experienced tax associate at top 10-20 firm (CohnReznick, Moss Adams, BakerTilly). For someone who wants to make a jump to law firm later on, would you recommend the move?

Question for ex-consulting (esp MBB) folks who landed up at Google - are you happy with the decision you took? Why / why not? I'm an MBB Consultant with an offer for a role in Strat Ops in another country. Also evaluating a similar role in a fast growing, publicly lister SaaS company closer to home - faster growth, more flex to work remotely. Want to understand if consulting folks are happy with Google overall, despite a potentially slower / more open ended growth path.

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?

I work as a Solution Specialist (sales rep) at an Authorizer Verizon retailer. Phone/wireless sales is not something I want to do forever. I have 4 years mobile sales experience and 3 additional years of niche sales/ customer service experience. I’m feeling stuck and every career/job move fells it is a step backwards. Does anybody have any advice on how to power through this or what other routs I could go?

Looking to do a career pivot into VC. Have 12+ years of B2B tech marketing experience with IBM, Google, Deloitte and a number of startups. Have skills in messaging, product launches, and sales and enjoy diving deep on my personal investments (all public companies beyond a few RSUs). Have an MBA in the back pocket too. Thoughts are to join as a marketing expert and learn unique VC investment philosophy. Any advice on how to break into the VC world? Just started networking/planning.

Hi there, for years of experience (YOE), can I include/count the work experience I had while still studying? Those experience include

Is breaking into equity research/coverage teams as hard as breaking into traditional advisory/M&A IB being from a non target school with a non finance degree?

33 year old with MBA thinking about a career change from financial services consultant to certified financial planner. Any advice?

Interested in working in PE, but experiences align more with the Ops side (3 YOE in strategic value creation). Is there a significant difference in total comp potential between ops and investments roles? Not sure how to make a case to break into investments with minimal DD experience, so thinking about Ops recruitment (Associate). Would also be grateful to learn about potential strategies non-DD focused consultants have used to ultimately break into investment teams.

What kind of consulting did you all do and where if you exited to PE investing roles? Every single head hunter I’ve spoken to says these MM firms want banking experience

Please help.. Need your suggestions.

I have 2 masters (mba, ms) from top schools, been in consulting for over 10 years, I am confident that I know my stuff well..but still I keep getting rejected. Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match?

Hi fishes. I am a third year and I was extended an offer to lateral to an Amlaw 100 firm, but as a second year. Is this common? I am coming from a specialty firm with four offices nationwide with a good reputation in our field. The lateral position is in the same field. Thank you!

Many in my MBA program are hyper grade focused. Do grades matter that much post MBA for future job opps at all? My approach has been to balance academics with relationship building and practicing exec presence and for me, pivoting to a new industry

My career goal isn’t to make it to MBB or a unicorn or FAANG. It’s to feel fulfilled and challenged as I progress. I can’t be the only one that isn’t title or company chasing.

Opinions on having other people do the readout of decks that you created all the way through (data processing, analysis, and compilation)? I personally think its so silly having else do it.

Anyone marry their law school sweetheart?

Just looked up a firm a recruiter told me about. I would be the only Latino on the roster and among the few that didn’t go to an Ivy League or top 20 law school. I don’t even know if I should bother applying...

Does anybody work in a rule for a litigation finance or legal funding company who doesn't hail from a big law firm in background? Basically I have a lot of interest in the area have read a book about it in my free time and was wondering what sort of entry level opportunities I should be seeking.

Can anyone set light on starting salary of JD/ tax LLM (GULC), for associate in Big4 tax controversy and dispute resolution?

Any JD/LLM working in M&A Tax Deloitte? Would love to talk. 

Let's discuss, what do you think of the LSAT becoming optional or the ABA abolishing it all together? Looks like it'll be gone by 2025.

Lawyers in Public Accounting, what have your non-public accounting job experiences been like? If you’re currently in public accounting, are you happy where you’re at or do you aspire to do something different? I’m always curious to hear about career paths.

As a law student interested in going into the field I’ve seen a lot of negative comments saying that only lawyers who couldn’t get into big law go into PA. Although I know most people try to get into big law initially, it is very competitive and many don’t stay past 2-3 years. You certainly don’t make as much going into PA as a lawyer but the pay is certainly not bad and the WLB is generally much better. Can anyone speak to how they got into PA and if you would rather be working in Big Law

I'm moving from Tennessee to the St. Louis area to be closer to family. I was offered a role as a CPA Lawyer with a salary of $65,093, is this considered a good offer for the area?

I am not in law school yet. But I was wondering where I can find out about other opportunities besides the standard tax attorney route. I am almost a CPA and currently in audit.

Can anyone please share their experience or insight into a controversy & dispute resolution associate role with the big4? What does it involve day to day, WLB, compensation (NY/DC locations), exit opportunities (foreign LLB/GULC tax LLM)? How does the work in WNT differ from other offices?

Just started b4 m&a — first job out of law school for reference — I don’t know what I’m doing at all and imposter syndrome is kicking in very badly. Any helpful resources ppl recommend for starting out?

Currently accepted an internship at a firm for the winter and also just accepted a separate internship over the summer with a B4 firm. Should I inform the other firm that I already accepted a later internship with a B4 firm or keep it to myself until the internship is over? They are totally different positions and I wanted to have some experience with both but worry they will take it wrong.

I am up for a role asking for 5 YOE, but I have a few more. What’s the going rate for in house counsel in public accounting?
