I've been offered an in house position (I wasn't actively looking). The salary is not that good (slight increase from what I earned as a senior associate at a big law, but with much better spousal & child benefits. Things have been challenging this year (much more competitive market, literally more work with less pay). So I thought, perhaps this is a divine intervention😆.

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?
