[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a nonprofit lawyer, can we please stop suggesting nonprofit jobs, as though they are easy to get?  They are not.  At least not the ones that actually pay.  Also, lol'ing at the suggestion that a district attorney job is easy to get.  The pay is shit, but they are highly desirable positions.

I would like to 2nd the person who suggested contract administration.  I have background in this area and there is are lots of opportunities in this area, and also in the federal gov't.  Look into NCMA.  [/quote]

I'm one of those who suggested finding work at a nonprofit. I didn't mean to suggest that'd be an easy job to get - not by any means. But the OP isn't categorically excluded from getting work with a nonprofit given her experience, the way she is from biglaw. I didn't see anyone suggest she should be a prosecutor - but she might be able to get work with a state government in some capacity.

But, yes, legal jobs are very competitive across the board now.[/quote]

Most people don't realize that to get a program job at a nonprofit, you have to demonstrate commitment to that organization's cause (with your resume, not just lip service). [/quote]
