What do you mean you heard BM has a tax practice group?

Next you’ll tell us the SEC has an enforcement division.

You need to get up to speed on the landscape if you want to move up or play the game.

In fairness, bm isn’t exactly skadden or wachtell tax so isn’t known as well. They do have some b4 laterals. Definitely go getters, and I take nothing away from bm folks but more diverse pool of applicants.

TP in the big4 is generally the economics of a TP study (actual comparable using various methods), whereas Baker mostly does the TP litigation that comes after the studies are challenged by the IRS and/or treaty related stuff. Baker may be one of handful of firms that also do the big4 type of documentation / study work with economists/etc., but you’d have to really network hard and show commitment as well as some level of lit experience and/or commitment to get into the TP lit side of things (and be ready to take a massive class size haircut).

Hi, new to this bowl.

Looking for a new role leading a PM and/or ops team. I'm an agency (media & creative) vet - depth in digital, crm, creative, tech, data, & process dev/deploy.

Have also worked ~4 years transforming / running ops at Kimbery-Clark's Digital COE and ~a year on web & digital projects at NYU Langone Medical Center.

FWIW they haven’t communicated to me position level they’d expect.
