[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry; yes, trial work in small section of the DOJ criminal section. First chaired several trials against big name DC firms. Also stint as an AUSA. It is very difficult to form an idea regarding possible moves because the salary structure for of counsel type jobs or senior associate positions is opaque. It seems to be one of those you don't know until you know situations, I think. Not trying to come off as a jerk at all, and am genuinely interested in others' experiences -- just have to be vague. Also, like I said, it is something that has occurred recently and often enough that I believe it is a possibility, but can't really ask those that have moved for details right now. [/quote]

Honestly I don't see why not.  Attorneys as a group are unusually forthcoming when it comes to money matters.  Why not just ask them what you asked us?  You could even pose the question out of curiosity.  Alternatively, why not try talking to a recruiter to get a feel?  As much as I despise recruiters if you find a good one with a lot of placements they can share some of that data with you to help evaluate the move.[/quote]

Sorry, when I said out of curiosity I meant something like "just curious but what do you think someone like me would be making at a firm" not directly asking what they make.[/quote]
