Started my LLM this fall and used to be a senior manager for Tax Structuring in M&A.
I’ve been applying to entry level LLMs positions for international tax with no success.
I’m in a loss if I’m doing something wrong or maybe my profile doesn’t match what big4 in US expects from an ITS associate…
I’m a foreign trained lawyer and accountant, I’m eligible to take both the bar and the CPA (and have them both in my country).
Should I give up going back to ITS and try a different area, maybe?

Once you start your LLM apply through your school career website. Btw, it seems you already have lots of experience in M&A, why ITS? ITS is a different team from M&A.
Fyi, even for ITS you need to have US tax knowledge. If all your background is related to foreign tax then it is hard to switch to US tax without LLM.
Also, visa may also be a factor if you don't have working visa/green card yet

I can feel you. I am a foreign trained lawyer as well, and I did my LLMs (general LLM and tax LLM) in U.S. It is tough to get the first job in U.S.. I was in job-hunting for more than a year, and finally I ended up with RSM. I would say just keep networking with people via LinkedIn (either with recruiter or ITS team member ) to let them know you and what you can do, and they will find your value and give you more interview opportunities.

Thank you.

Many thanks.
