Why would a compliance job only be 40k? I'm in compliance and make 300k. Entry level people start out at about 70k and that's right out of undergrad.

In fact, I love what I do.

I do document review .

If you're already employed, why are you desperate? If you're not employed, apply for unemployment. Many DCUM members have been getting $1000/week for the past year by mooching off Uncle Sam. The unemployment benefits are somewhat lower now, but still ripe for mooching.

I honestly don’t know anymore . It used to fluctuate . I’d assume it’s not very good probably 2nd or 3rd tier now. I did well. Top 5% but that’s no longer relevant as I graduated a long time ago

I’ve applied for many many government jobs over the years. I’ve only gotten one offer, at the BVA, which I declined about 14 years ago. I apply on average two federal jobs a week

It depends. What's your age and professional background?

Mid 40s . Ediscovery. I’m very depressed because I know this means hopeless


Are you a contract attorney?

No
