Is* the CFPB even worth applying to if you don’t have an Ivy League or equivalent law degree?[/quote]

Nope -- unless you have a resume that's stellar for other reasons such as you're a well-known expert in your field. [/quote]

Agreed.  Many of the hiring people apparently think that Ivy League/Top 20 guarantees quality - there's definite snobbery.[/quote]

I don’t get the snobbery at CFPB. I quite honestly didn’t know it was all that prestigious. I’m currently a Federal Government attorney at a non-regulatory agency 3 years out of law school. What do you all think is the best way to get into SEC, CFPB, FDIC etc., I have a deep interest in financial regulation? [/quote]

1. Know someone who already works there and can vouch for you.

2. You need real regulatory banking experience on your resume. It's not enough to just have a general interest in the subject matter. Work for a bank, an industry trade group, or a large law firm covering financial clients. Most lawyers I know at my regulatory agency went that route or were hired out of law school after a summer internship. [/quote]
