Exit options- tax v m&a
Hey all. Would like to tap the collective wisdom of TLS regarding the differences and respective benefits of exit options of M&A versus Tax associates.

M&A no brainer if you want in house. While there is some tax in house, it is much more limited.
Exit from tax is probably Big 4 or other accounting firms (which is slightly better QOL than big law), or maybe govt depending upon type of tax work.

Re: Exit options- tax v m&a
I think this overstates the advantage of M&A over tax for in house. Yes, far more M&A associates work in house, but there are also far more M&A associates overall. I don't think it's obvious that tax doesn't have the same ratio of outside counsel to in house.Anonymous User wrote:M&A no brainer if you want in house.

From what I've seen, attorneys who exit into good big4 groups (WNT, Int'l, certain M&A groups) tend to have pretty ok QoL. It's the CPA tax/audit drones who get reamed for 50k a year.Anonymous User wrote:M&A no brainer if you want in house. While there is some tax in house, it is much more limited.

Re: Exit options- tax v m&a
Tax also has a disproportional amount of boutiques that combine OK pay with OK hours. And biglaw tax practice is supposedly more humane if you want to stick with that.dabigchina wrote:From what I've seen, attorneys who exit into good big4 groups (WNT, Int'l, certain M&A groups) tend to have pretty ok QoL.
