"come right off clerking from scotus"

Really ? Can you refer me to one or two who did this ?

I'm assuming PP meant straight to a tenure track position from a Court clerkship rather than a tenured position. It's not uncommon, though probably less common than doing a Climenko, Bigelow, or other VAP program.

No, I am astonished that a Scotus clerk would forego the $400,000 to $450,000 signing bonus & credited years in a biglaw firm earning over $300,000 (base & year end bonus) for a first year cash compensation package of over $700,000 for one year.

Biglaw hours are insane.

A lot of those clerks come from well off families. They'd rather get in a tenure track position sooner than later. Isn't what I would do, but no crazier than those who go straight into government after clerking on the Court.
