[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re correct, BVA experience is generally not marketable. Most employers in the private and federal sectors don’t care about veterans law. But, BVA experience is very helpful for attorneys who want to become a law clerk at the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC). Most of the law clerks there at CAVC have BVA experience.

I know a lot of GS-12 SSA attorneys who are former BVA attorney. SSA loves to hire BVA attorneys because the work is so similar. In fact, the current Executive Director of SSA’s Appeals Council was a supervisor at BVA. SSA hired her to increase the productivity of decision writer attorneys/paralegal specialists. SSA is a good transfer option for BVA attorneys because with BVA experience, you wont have to start off as a GS-9 attorney; SSA will let you transfer as a GS11 or even give you the maximum grade of GS-12.[/quote]

A GS 12 experienced attorney? That's sad. At my agency you have a clear path to GS 12 with only a hs/undergraduate degree.[/quote]
