I’m thinking about pursuing an LLM in International Tax Law, possibly at Georgetown or UCLA but I’m a bit uncertain about the degree’s actual value in terms of job prospects and career growth. Since earning my JD, I’ve had a tough time finding stable work, and I feel like I need to boost my credentials, but I’m not sure if an LLM is the right way to do it. I’d really appreciate any insights on whether this degree can make a difference for my career in the next few years.

Thanks for any advice!

If you can get into Georgetown and afford the high fees, you have a very good chance at a big 4 outcome. It’s usually considered the second best tax LLM in the US (after NYU).

I see. So I guess the actual barrier is getting in, and not getting a job afterwards. :)

Thanks.
