Start looking at a National Office tax team at your firm. This will help the transition, a lot. Likely want an LLM from a top school to jump. Big Law is a lot about how you look on paper, much more so than Big 4

Hope you all are having a great weekend.

Feel free to share any other tip with the fellow fishes!
