I am a JD/LLM in M&A tax. I am considering a switch to big law. I am curious what the salary bands are for manager and senior manager to compare law firm vs big 4, 5 years down the line and 10 years down the line.

You can look up big law salaries online. For comparison I just have a JD, am 4 years in, and make 190+bonus (10-20%).

Someone once told me that international tax senior manager was making $400k. It was hearsay so I can’t be sure that is true.

That’s no where close to true for vast majorly. MAYBE for career SM in a very highly specialized area.

There is no comparison.

Big 4 MDs in M&A make just a little more than a first year associate salary + bonus (~220k) in big law. Major market, outside of NY.

I make over 200 and I’m an M2 and not in NY. Lol at thinking MDs don’t make more than 220…

You will make more early but you will work for it.
