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.

Does my commercial litigation “break” hurt my prospect? How long can I stay in com lit without hurting my chances even more?
