[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He hasn’t committed to DOJ honors yet? I’m a lawyer and I agree with his plan to bail. With his resume he will get a job at a small firm and he could look at non profits and state government as well, there are some great positions in those sectors. [/quote]
+1.  I wouldn't want the stress and uncertainty of working for this administration.  He has other great options.[/quote]

+1 I'm a former fed with similar credentials.[b] DOJ is going to be destroyed this time, much worse than the first Adm.[/b] It's so sad to say this but I wouldn't recommend this path for him now. [b]Go to a firm and apply for a job at DOJ in a few yrs. He will still have a great shot with his resume.[/b]

If this were like a Jeb Bush administration, sure! Move past the partisan differences. But the issue now is much bigger - feds are going to be treated very poorly in the hopes they leave or just straight up fired, which is easiest when they are new.[/quote]

No. It will not be "destroyed."

And what is this "go to a firm" stuff where you claim "he will still have a great shot with his resume." What are you on about? No one has a "great shot" at DOJ, it is one of the hardest legal jobs to get, if not the hardest, and there is a huge abount of luck and timing involved. And most are applying from "a firm."

OP, this person doesn't know what they are talking about. I'm guessing this "I'm a former fed with similar credentials" means they worked as a paralegal for a year at the Dept of Education or some such nonsense. [/quote]
