Most JDs that we hire also have LLMs. Would imagine you might have a hard time coming from t50 with no LLM. If you have an accounting undergrad or masters that could be considered equivalent to the LLM.
Thanks that’s helpful, I’m a CFP but I’m guessing that doesn’t have a lot of weight for this type of work
JD/LLM here. I was hired after my JD and decided to pursue LLM while working at a big4.
It’s definitely possible to get hired with “only” a JD but you need two things (1) take all the tax classes offered at the law school and (2) go to a big4 target school.
(1) is obvious and (2) is very important. You can be the best professional but if they don’t recruit from your law school, you won’t be hired.
Generally, big4 firms do not recruit from law schools but they target accounting undergrads or llms. I was fortunate bc one of the big4 decided to recruit (participate in OCI) from my law school. This was solely bc one of the partners was a graduate of the law school. When I tried to apply to other big4s, I couldn’t get through.
I tried applying online, I tried emailing a recruiter, I went to the undergrad’s career office to meet with a campus recruiter, etc. but noting worked.
It was a different experience when I did my llm. I did my llm at nyu, and the big4 firms were heavily recruiting.
Lastly, I think you should consider costs. A career in m&a tax can be lucrative but law school is expensive…
Thanks for the insights that’s very helpful!
It’s tough with just a JD unless you have other relevant experience/education. But not impossible. If your law school has a tax LLM program, I’d try to get in with their events to meet potential employers, etc. obviously it may be closed off to LLM only, but worth a shot.
is it free?
I’m applying this cycle but I’m expecting at least 3/4 scholarship
