Was in a law firm before and now a Big4 SM in M&A tax. I feel like I have more control over my files in Big4, feel more respected by partners & have a better (still far from perfect) WLB.

And do what? Are you a lawyer looking to practice law?
I made this move as an m&a tax senior associate & it was probably the best professional decision I’ve made so far.

When I first made the jump, I started out at a small firm (5 attorneys) then moved to big law a couple years later.
