What’s the WLB like at Chamberlain Hrdlicka transactional tax? How about tax controversy? How many hours a year are you expected to bill?

Lots of followers, no leaders. Hmm.

Depends on the office. Transactional practice is primarily in Houston and is strong. Controversy practice is generally good WLB all around. I believe the firm just lowered to 1850 hours across the board and the partners are great to work with. Flexibility to WFH is becoming more common but of course depends on the office and partners you work with. PM me if you have specific questions.

If we are talking asset class that isn’t really like marketable securities but might be able to treat it similarly solely by virtue of, say, valuation on a quarterly basis (contd)

The stress of this job ruined my life.
The stress has lead to an eating disorder that I can’t get control of. I’ve lost 25 pounds since starting at the firm two and a half years ago. I am 20 pounds less than I was in high school... I don’t know how to get control again. Even when the stress lays off I can’t eat more due to being used to being busy for almost 9 months out of the year...
