When people ask about federal attorney positions they do not mean the SSA or BVA writing jobs. If you are unfortunate enough to even know about those jobs then you ask with specificity (and the neerdowells who work there will respond).

To answer your question OP, they are all highly competitive. Many private sector attorneys are eager to give up high pay for the much more manageable fed gov schedule.

What’s wrong with BVA? Are they low paying?

Nothing - it’s just a decision-writing attorney job like hundreds of others in various agencies across the fed Gvt. not everyone’s cup of tea.

There is a nasty BVA-hating troll who pops up wherever he can to trash them.

I seriously doubt a single troll created the 40+ page BVA thread that lays out how awful a BVA job actually is.
