[quote=Anonymous][quote] Let’s say your went to a DA’s office, they love you, and you’ve got a ton of trial experience. Perhaps if you stay a few more years you will be promoted to a senior or deputy position. Then maybe you can come into a firm as a senior associate or counsel, prove your worth, and make counsel.[/quote] When I graduated, which was admittedly 7 years ago, I could not get a job at a DA's office to save my life, though I did get offers from top 50 firms, and a federal clerkship after I worked at one of said firms for a year and hated it. It was truly disheartening since I went to law school with the aspiration of becoming a DA, and interned at the DA's office during school. No offices in the multiple cites I applied in were hiring. I'm not sure this is necessarily an easier path than a firm. [/quote]
