What is the pay difference? I presume IRS chief counsel is in an area you like? Unless pay difference is substantial I would get chief counsel.
One generally never hears about someone regretting going to the IRS, but people regret going to firms they don’t like all the time
Go IRS. It’ll never match firm pay but it will position you better to get where you want to be down the road.
As a big law tax attorney, l don’t think you can go wrong having IRS experience. Only the snotiest of the snot nosed partners will knock you for not having come from another t20 firm. This can be overcome. In addition, in my opinion, the work you are likely to do at the IRS will be many multiples more substantive and valuable to your development than your first handful of years in private practice.
A1, just based on what I’ve seen but I think there is a cap for S cases in tax court of 50 or 75k.
Given the recent discussions about IRS Modernization, I believe the 2 divisions (SBSE and LB&I) will be combined. Likely to happen in a couple of years but think that’s the Services intent.
Not sure if it will match the pre-98 organizational structure.
Sbse has limited exit opportunities.
Small firm litigation. Maybe a tax clinic. For in-house or bigger law firm, transfer to lbi right away (not hard to do) or if in dc, transfer to either international or corporate if you ever wanna end up in biglaw.
If pay is similar go IRS. Similarity, I’ve never heard anyone regret that route and opens up many doors after.
My partner (big law) came from the irs.
As a benefits attorney, I'd love to have worked at the IRS for a few years. I know a few partners who took that route, so I don't think you'll be shutting any doors.
Not sure I can speak to that, but most people consider it a feather in their cap.
