Would Full time MBA be useful for M&A Tax? If I want to make partner, would think I need to have a network of business leaders. Wonder if the firm would pay for it. Would go for T7

Heck no. I wouldn’t even bother with a JD.

Would think if you’re just planning on doing M&A tax you’re better off spending your time working and building your network through your projects, coworkers, and industry networking events. A top MBA seems a bit impractical if you’re the goal is partner in m&a tax

M&A tax partner here. No. Spend your time learning from your firm and your real world experiences. If you don’t have an MST, that may be helpful.

Maybe a masters of tax. Not an MBA.

I did a part time program and I think it is valuable, but not bc of business leader access, more because I have a stronger general business acumen and I can play the b school card when needed.

Selling work when I don’t have 15-25 years of experience like my competitors do. Most buyers in the m&a space have their mbas

Long and ugly story, but a former employer paid for a portion of it. I did not have my new employer pay for it, although they offered, because of the specific circumstances I was in/personal choice. If you can get someone to pay for it, you should.

Less than 10 years of experience and I will be up for partner within the next 2 years. I think it accelerated my career.

If u wanna do M&A tax u should get JD instead

I think most people on this thread are going to largely tell you it’s not worth it from a financial/career perspective for what you want to do, but if it’s a personal aspiration then that’s a different story that none of us are going to be able to help you with

Background check question. Had a grad school project on my resume with a company. Project was 8 months work with company and 3 months of prep training. This was considered a volunteer role and I have no W2s or anything associated.

On my BGC I listed the 11 months listed above. My previous resume listed this under my education, so I never had exact dates. Grad school was several years back.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?
