There were a surprising number of summers gunning for tax spots, though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1412937&forum_id=2#15958676) |

You're not considering an LLM, right? |

Date: September 3rd, 2010 7:02 PM Author: Doobsian stain trust fund Generally, yes. But not all work is deal driven. For example, there are long-term restructuring projects that are 100% tax driven--those don't disappear just because the economy sucks. There's also tax controversy, though few big firms have substantial controversy practices. At boutiques the story is different. Advisory work, which is primarily what the little places do, is significantly less cyclical than deal work. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1412937&forum_id=2#15958806) |

Date: September 3rd, 2010 7:13 PM Author: Motley Very Tactful Cuckold Potus that appears to be the consensus. it's weird though that the LLM degree literally lost all its value within a 2 year time period. 2 or 3 years ago, the tax LLM degree was the only way people with "Tier 1" degrees got good jobs. now, apparently, an LLM is seen as a demerit.
