(KJD) started my first job out of law school a few months ago at a Big 4 accounting firm. I am interested in tax law which is why I thought it would be cool to work at a Big 4 working on M&A deals through a tax lens. However, as I start to learn more about the job and what people senior to me do, I'm starting to find myself more and more curious about whether I should try out regular tax law at a firm or a boutique. Is it possible to find my way to a small/mid/boutique firm after a year?

That would be great. Is there a way we could do a networking call before? I'd like to learn more about Alvarez and Marsal. I assumed it was consulting

Big law is probably your best bet for M&A tax purposes, but that’s very dependent on region too. That said, I’ve been tackling the same dilemma so just sharing what I’ve discovered so far.

Good to know. I was thinking of doing 2 years since I'm a KJD with no experience but recently heard I should leave asap. In your search have you heard anything about this?

Any thoughts or general advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
