Re: top 20 accounting firm pivots
Tax experience in which specialty area (SALT, International, M&A, trusts & estates, executive comp, etc.) ?
What was your undergraduate major ? (Accounting ?)
Best way to Biglaw is to earn a tax LLM degree at NYU. (Biglaw tax practice differs from accounting firm/Big 4 tax practice. Therefore, as a JD working in the tax area of an accounting firm, you are not in training for Biglaw.)
Best way to Big 4 is to be in a specialty area that is in high demand, but short supply of experienced individuals.
A tax LLM from Georgetown, NYU, or Northwestern should yield offers from Big 4 if you do well.
