Looking to make a switch… 2nd year tax attorney with extensive, broad, and autonomous experience handling federal, state, & international tax matters. I prefer the planning/consulting side but I’m not opposed to some audit/controversy work. In the Houston area. Any recommendations (or referrals)? I prefer somewhere where I have some autonomy over my choice of cases and I enjoy meeting with clients at their place of business every once in while.

I’m an Art Director looking to make a move to LA next year. Does anyone have a list of good creative recruiters they can share with me?

Do y’all have a prayer room at your firm? I don’t think mine does and I’m tryna think about how i can make it a thing. I’m sure there are other Muslims here

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.

I hate going to the Apple Store nowadays.

Moving to Oregon from California in about a month. I don't know anyone in the city. Any suggestions on activities/cool sights to see?

Hi Nagarrians,

Can someone tell difference in Technical Specialist, Staff Engineer , Principal Engineer and Associate architect experience wise and seniority wise? Not able to get clarity as have seen people with same experience having one of these designations.

Hiring a Social Media Manager. Looking for someone with strong lead generation and conversions background. Any suggestions as to best places to find these talents?

What pain points are folks experiencing in the digital media space? Most of what I am hearing is related to audience targeting (privacy issues) and conversion measurement (specifically attributing advertising to brick-and-mortar bottom line). Curious if “the bowl” has any thing else that comes to mind?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good OB in NYC?

How to save tax i have 9 lpa salary. Need a detailed information. I have already taken full 80D apart from they any more suggestions for 80C?

I recently went freelance as an EP and started my own LLC as well (to get the full benefits of being a freelancer). Some agencies and clients want to pay on a W2 versus 1099 / as an independent contractor. Should I still take the gig if W2 or stand my ground and pass?

After going from big agency to in-house, I have the chance to move to a smaller in-house company to be the only creative and eventually begin to build my own team. Ideal situation or terrifying one?

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)

I'm considering switching my practice from tax to exec comp so that I can work remotely indefinitely. If I dislike it, do you think it would be difficult to switch back? I'm a 4th year that works in biglaw.

What is the best firm in NY for an associate interested in international tax planning (inbound and outbound), M&A, and transfer pricing?

Are there any search firms that specialize in placing tax associates?

Any insight into STB’s tax group?

Junior biglaw tax associate here. Considering an internal transfer vs lateral to NYC from a smaller market. Any firms in the v20 I should avoid/look into? I have pretty reasonable hours at my current firm and trying to avoid going to a sweatshop. Interested in international tax and hoping to avoid m&a. Firms I’m considering: Latham, Gibson, Sidley, Goodwin, Milbank. Thank you all!

Transitioning from biglaw to IRS Chief Counsel?

Hi all, has anyone here transitioned to Chief Counsel from biglaw? What was your experience like? When did you transition? Any tips or general comments?

Current jr. associate. Love tax, not loving biglaw. Have an llm. Looking to transition in the next few years (or earlier if possible).

Thanks for any help.

I'm currently completing a tax LLM (as a foreign trained lawyer) but considering pursuing a JD. I'd like to do it part-time while working. Which firm/service line gives me the best chance to do both? Also, is part-time Big4 work even a thing?

Any insight on whether IRS Chief Counsel is open to (or considering being open to) remote attorneys? I’ve seen SEC and other agencies willing to hire fully remote lawyers.

Anyone here practice SALT? How does it differ from what “regular” tax associates do?

Transitioning from com. lit into tax controversy?

I have a tax LLM and started my career out of law school doing M&A tax at a big4. After 9 months, I got out of big4 transactional hell and into whatever litigation I could find. I now practice commercial lit but would welcome the opportunity to eventually transition into tax controversy (which I wasn’t able to do before). Does my commercial litigation “break” hurt my prospect? How long can I stay in com lit without hurting my chances even more?

Hi everyone - I am looking for a new role and would appreciate your support. Thank you in advance for any connections, advice, or opportunities you can offer.

Hi Tax Friends. Seeking some advice. I will give more context in the comments, but big picture I am a non-tax litigator interested in switching to tax. The question is: (1) pursue LLM; (2) take tax job now; (3) just treat tax as a hobby?

For anyone who practices tax lit in the US Tax Court, what’s your experience with the independent office of appeals? They don’t seem quite that “independent” to me and so far, I’ve only had one appeals officer who seemed knowledgeable and nice. It’s been a real headache. Interested to hear other people’s experience.

Other than general tax and estate planning, what are some practice areas can a Tax LL.M. be beneficial in? I’ve heard it can help you in M&A, but I’m curious if anyone has additional thoughts

Has anyone made the jump from the tax group of an AmLaw 100 firm to a Big 4 tax group? I have questions.

Any T&E associates in here who I could talk to? I’m a transactional tax associate at a v5 firm doing M&A and capital markets work and hating it. I’m a 4th year with an LLM and a clerkship and I think I regret not pursuing T&E or private wealth.

Any other junior tax lawyers here feeling discouraged by how steep the learning curve is? 🥲 I started remotely too and training has not been the best…
