To enter into german top firms you ought to have a L.L.M. But this is only to prove that you speak English. In Germany a L.L.M. will bring you 5 000 - 10 000 € (ca.6k-12kUSD) a year more, I heard. So the top U.S. schools don't really do it without a scholarship when they cost up to 50 000 USD, personal view. Overall here it's your GPA that counts. If you meet that everything else just makes you more markeable. I want to do a L.L.M. as well (Tax/Banking/Finance/...) to specialize and to have more of that mentioned experience. After I spent a year in Stockholm as a foreign student I can only recommend going abroad.
