Right. And did you also not realize that the SEC has a DFW regional office? And the USAO has an office there too? You really won't consider those things bc you'd have to apply thru USAJobs rather than thru connections? I got a job at SEC here in DC with ZERO connections as I was coming from a different city (and I mean in 2015 - not 20 yrs ago), so don't act like it isn't possible unless you at least attempt it.[/quote]NP. What do you think helped you stand out from other applicants in landing the SEC gig?  Are you an enforcement attorney or working in a different area?[/quote]

I think it's bc I am a biglaw litigator who WAS willing to go to a division other than enforcement. I think Enforcement gets thousands of apps per opening, while the other divisions may get hundreds -- so they do take more time to review credentials and you do stand out more if you cast your net broadly and don't take on a "enforcement or bust" mentality. Other than that, nothing much -- I have credentials similar to OP, though only 1 clerkship rather than 2.[/quote]
