[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only possible way to make this work is to kick ass at UMD then score a Circuit-level federal clerkship (3 yrs no pay plus 2 years of low pay) then score HP at DOJ (good luck) then work 3-5 years to hit GS15.[/quote] I did HP hiring for my litigating division at DOJ. Getting through the number of HP applications we received was almost impossible. A fed appellate clerkship did put people at the top of the stack. But even then, as you point out, it would be years before a trial attorney hits gs-15, which even at the highest step doesn’t quite hit 200k. My DH is over 200k (we met at work) but he is SES. Oh, and even with a DC Circuit clerkship if I were to get a whiff of “I went to law school looking to work 40 hours”—that would have been an easy “no” for me. [/quote]
