How to figure out which practice area to focus on?
Posted: Sat Jul 30, 2011 11:41 am
I will be attending one of CCN in the fall and obviously want to get the ball rolling on landing a job ASAP. My work experience is as follows:
4 busy seasons of audit at a big4 accounting firm, left as a senior associate (quit)
CPA
Series 7 and 66 licenses (both inactive due to me not working in the industry anymore)
My question is, is there a biglaw practice area that values audit experience more than other areas? I was thinking tax would make sense, but since my CPA experience is all in audit, will that matter for landing a tax position?
Also, I am a URM (MA) if that factors in.
Thanks in advance!
