I’d rather not put a title behind my name, but if I were looking to attract the attention of recruiters on LinkedIn (legal and public accounting) would using “JD” or “Esq.” behind my name help my name pop up in a search?

Esq. is acceptable. JD is not.

Oooohhhh, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks D1

I have JD LLM after my name and most JD LLMs I know do as well.

I'd go JD. I hate having to do it, too, but if you're in public accounting most recruiters are looking for a CPA unless hiring for entry level, so having the designation is better than not having anything so they don't pass on ya. PA recruiters aren't that savvy, they will likely know what JD means before Esq. That's more specific to law only.

Yep. I still use LLM after my name tho I’m no longer at B4 but at law firm.

Has anyone dealt with stuffing allocation in a non-hedge fund context? It seems even in the HF world the law is fuzzy in using aggregate reverse 704c principles in stuffing allocations. Like, sure, the market is there but no authority really blessed it (other than some Cravath partner’s article in Tax Notes in 2013). If we are talking asset class that isn’t really like marketable securities but might be able to treat it similarly solely by virtue of, say, valuation on a quarterly basis (contd)
