Re: NYU LL.M. Outcomes
It may be helpful to clarify what you are asking for. Outcomes for whom? Which LLM? I assume you mean tax, but you could also be talking about LLMs for international students or other random LLM programs.
Assuming tax, keep in mind that a lot of students are already employed. The "outcome" is they get another credential, but you won't be able to draw a straight-line from the tax LLM to their employment. This is especially true for people employed in biglaw.
The top-end income (at least from a competitiveness/earnings standpoint) would be biglaw tax, but your JD background is likely more important than your first semester LLM grades for that (including whether you've already worked in biglaw, been a summer associate, had an offer, etc.). I'd say the median outcome for someone who does not have a job lined up going in would be Big4. On the better side would be WNT offer, on the worse side would be a less prestigious group (i.e. not International/M&A/WNT). Besides that, as far as employment outcomes you are probably looking at a mix of smaller accounting firms, tax consultancy, and government (including tax court clerkships). The precise mix is going to depend on how strong the hiring market is.

Re: NYU LL.M. Outcomes
NYU Tax LLM Class of 2022 outcomes:
Class of 2022 had 76 graduates--all of whom were employed within 10 months of graduation.
67% to law firms (50% to law firms of over 100 attorneys) (just under 8% returned to prior firm)
25% to Big 4 accounting firms
4% federal tax court clerkships
NYU's Tax LLM programs had just 43 students in the Class of 2023. 39 were employed within 10 months of graduation. 5% returned to their firms.
Class of 2020 had 86 graduates, class of 2021 had 87 graduates, class of 2022 had 76,and class of 2023 had just 43 graduates. Shrinking size may be due to employment climate and to the introduction of an online option.
