Our Philadelphia-area boutique firm whose practice works exclusively with nonprofits and charities is hiring due to growth. Tax is the basis of Exempt Org work. That is why I am posting here. Great practice working to further charitable missions of our clients. Good WLB (1300 hour billable requirement). Opportunity for the right person to work remotely.

With your background, only get one from NYU. Every other program is second class. Was the best choice I ever made. Happy to chat about the experience sometime.
Is there something you wish you would have known before going to NYU? I’m leaning towards just applying there or not.
Did you end up doing one of the more specialized tracks they have? What did you think about it?
1) be sure you want to do tax and 2) only get a LLM from Georgetown or nyu
Georgetown LLM grad. It facilitated my ability to go to a tax boutique and eventually make partner at another firm. To the others’ point, many of my colleagues did not go Big Law if that’s the goal. If your goal is expanding your knowledge, network, internship and exit opps (particularly in DC), GU is a great choice.
UF LLM alumni. I got a better job than most students coming out of GU/NYU. I wouldn’t completely resign the idea of attending non GU/NYU school especially if scholarship money is on the table.

A3 - I agree that GU is not top 2. There is NYU as clear number one, then GU, UF, and Northwestern in the second tier. Second tier programs will almost guarantee you a job in sophisticated B4 tax practice and give you a decent shot at national/regional law firms. If you don't want to work in NYC, don't particularly care about working in v20 firms generally, and are okay with the idea of a B4 tax practice, then any of the second tier tax LLM programs is good and you should choose based on region and cost.
I did my LLM at university of Denver. Granted I have more prestigious schools for my other degrees. But I graduated top of my class and I don’t feel like any doors have been shut. What in tax do you want to do??
I’m not sure what in tax I want to do. Im leaning towards international or corporate tax. I’d rather be at a firm (boutique or not).
Also thank you guys so much for all your comments so far. I really appreciate it.
Of course! Feel free to DM if you’d like, happy to talk
