You should take on any National Tax Office related role at any of the Big4. Avoid getting siloed into the Tax or Consulting practice. The exception to this rule is M&A. You can do tax M&A a cross all business units and still be marketable.
I'd focus on finding the Tax LLM that is more aligned with law practice life (ex. Total Rewards = ERISA, Cross Boarder/global = International Tax Law, etc.) I've found that other areas like Corp tax, SALT, controversy does translate as well in traditional law UNLESS you have the M&A experience with it. I've experience at or been recruited for Big4, Big Law, and In-House. Different if you want to go to a Tax Law Boutique then I suggest you pick up tax controversy experience.
I think the DC offices of any of the Big 4 would be the most marketable.
Agree with the National Tax Desk/Office being most marketable. Each of them call it something slightly different, but some potential to work remotely—definitely doesn’t have to be out of the DC office.
Are your pre-LLM credentials going to make BigLaw feasible? LLM will help but most BL firms will still care much more about your JD (school rank and GPA). If not, I’d just prioritize finding the Big4 group you enjoy most. It’s an uphill road from Big4 to BigLaw so I wouldn’t plan totally around that being a possibility.
Cum laude at a mediocre school. Worked in biglaw before and am currently at an AM150. Just trying to change from a different practice to tax
Unfortunately i need to be in another large market due to my wife’s job
Can you just start with a law firm now? Or you just want the Big 4 experience now?
I’m going to apply to firms but I’m not in a tax heavy market. Lots of big law firms, some of which have a decent tax presence here, but a lot pull from summer programs rather than hiring out of LLM programs
Then I think you need to do what you are doing….apply everywhere and see where you land.
