Lawyers: please advise (career wise, not legally)
So, a job offer just pretty much fell in my lap. ?It's editing tax and legal documents in the Tax and Legal Services department of DH's firm (Big 4 accounting). ?They need a native english speaker with experience editing and drafting legal documents. ?Once I graduate it would turn into an entry level associate position. ?
I'm kind of falling over myself here and am having difficulties seeing a downside. ?Please help.
Re: Lawyers: please advise (career wise, not legally)
omg, if you don't mind tax law do it. Landing an in-house position straight out of law school sounds like a golden opportunity to me!

I have read that if you go in-house too early on in your career (like right out of law school), it could limit your options if you want to go to a firm eventually. I think it's a lot easier to go firm to in-house than in-house to firm.
That said, it's not impossible, and probably varies a lot by subject matter. If going to a firm is important to you, I'd maybe talk to a few people in your field and get their sense of it, but overall, it sounds like a good opportunity and if you guys are thinking of staying in Prague for a while, it sounds pretty perfect.

That's the thing. ?I'm not sure we'll be moving back to the U.S., at least not in the next decade.?
Oh interesting, I guess that makes sense. Do you think it matters, though, that this is one of the Big4 accounting firms? It's one thing to be in-house counsel for some random company and another to be in-house for like, Goldman Sachs, right?
Hope you guys don't mind that I always pop in on these threads. I heart lawyers and the whole legal profession. When I worked at the bank, the lawyers were still my favorite (outside of my own team, that is).
