Any particular ones for a lawyer with no marketable attorney experience either ? I honestly don’t think I could afford to live on a 40k a year compliance job but I’m willing to look into it. Thanks

It depends. What's your age and professional background?

Have you looked at the government? Regulatory Counsel, Government Information Specialist, Attorney-Advisor (this title is more competitive) start at GS 9 or 11 for entry level. Journeyman is usually a GS 13.

I’ve applied for many many government jobs over the years. I’ve only gotten one offer, at the BVA, which I declined about 14 years ago. I apply on average two federal jobs a week

If you're already employed, why are you desperate? If you're not employed, apply for unemployment. Many DCUM members have been getting $1000/week for the past year by mooching off Uncle Sam. The unemployment benefits are somewhat lower now, but still ripe for mooching.

I honestly don’t know anymore . It used to fluctuate . I’d assume it’s not very good probably 2nd or 3rd tier now. I did well. Top 5% but that’s no longer relevant as I graduated a long time ago

What kind of ediscovery job do you have? We can help you translate those skills into something else. But just saying “ediscovery” and I am “hopeless” shows an inability to think outside of the box. I’ve been in ediscovery for over a decade and I don’t feel hopeless at all. In fact, I love what I do.

Why would a compliance job only be 40k? I'm in compliance and make 300k. Entry level people start out at about 70k and that's right out of undergrad.
