[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, a 200k salary is not realistic in government straight out of law school. Have him look at a GS scale.[/quote] He has, and GS-15 is close to that salary, but it sounds like it would not be realistic to get there within a couple of years? [/quote] The only way to get a Federal job straight out of law school is through an honors program, and those are competitive at every agency. Even then, he'll start as a GS11, step 1. There's also no reason to think that a federal job is easily in reach for a UMD grad. To have a decent chance, he needs to finish in the top 10 to 25% of his class (and guess what, everyone attending plans to do that). The most realistic outcome is a local prosecutors office or a small firm. He needs to be OK with that to consider attending. [/quote]
