I'm in a T1 Tax Law firm for the past 3 years. I've spent an extensive amount of time right from law school till now to specialise in IDT. I'm now considering to switch to general litigation because of the lack of mobility within tax practising law firms. I understand that general litigation would give me a diverse workload along with the unending opportunities between firms.
I do love tax, I enjoy it thoroughly, I'm just considering switching because of the lack of mobility amongst tax law firms. Seeking advice if switching to general lit is a good decision or sticking it in tax litigation because of the opportunities forming owing to GSTAT.
I'm quite unhappy at my current firm but since there's v little mobility, I'm unsure if I should stick at a firm where I'm unhappy but doing tax or move out to do disputes. I'm a law grad (only) from '24 batch
