[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks- we aren't living elsewhere. We both have good jobs here and have family back home. To move elsewhere is counter productive in the long run. If he for sure wanted big law, then yes - trying for a top there would be the best way forward. But he already has a good paying job here (as do I) which, without getting in to Penn, seems stupid to give up.

Sounds like GT is a better bet than GW - he is planning on speaking with them about money next week. And bringing his GW offer to negotiate, I believe [/quote]

Actually op, it is very hard to get government or public interest legal jobs and is much easier to do so coming from Yale Harvard or Stanford than georgetown or below.

This is not entirely true. Government is not a concerned with pedigree. Some agencies may care more than others, but many don't care much at all. At my office, we have a ton of attorneys from 4th tier schools. [/quote]

DISAGREE.  SOME agencies are not AS concerned with pedigree.  But put a YHS grad next to a GWU grad, all other things being equal, they will pick the Ivy league candidate 9 times out of 10 - Main DOJ, SEC, CFPB, USAO are all about pedigree and clerkships - and clerkships are MUCH easier to get if you have pedigree.[/quote]
