Exit Opportunities from Tax Law

Hi all! For someone with a few years of background in tax law (JD+LLM+Big Law Tax), what groups in investment banks/hedge funds/PE do you see as places where someone could add the most value?
 

Historically, lots of tax attorneys end up on JPM's Corporate Finance Advisory IBD team doing equity and debt structuring. Mainly because tax attorney at good firms work on structuring complex funds/financial products. But I was wondering if anyone knew of any other types of groups where the skills would be useful? Could be in S&T or IBD or buy side. Basically, if one started recruiting into finance from tax law, which areas would offer the most interesting/lucrative transition points?
