Can't make WCC your practice anymore without federal gov experience. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2658399&forum_id=2#26221841) |

Date: August 27th, 2014 11:56 PM Author: Mint razzle immigrant Yeah, its not bad at all. Even though being an AUSA is ideal for white collar criminal defense, you have to take a big pay cut from BIGLAW, if you are lucky to become an AUSA ($110k?). Boutique white collar criminal defense seems ideal. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2658399&forum_id=2#26221886) |

Date: August 28th, 2014 12:02 AM Author: Mildly Autistic Exhilarant Home Elastic Band Sorry, I wasn't clear. Boutique white collar firms are filled with associates that want to become AUSAs. If they miss out - which many do, even with their stellar credentials - they don't have very many options. A boutique won't make you a partner without fed gov experience anymore either.

Date: August 28th, 2014 12:11 AM Author: Mildly Autistic Exhilarant Home Elastic Band for most people in competitive districts like SDNY or CDCal, it's a credential - kind of like a clerkship. They do their stint and lateral back to private practice.
For others, esp in flyover, it's an end game. A job where you make decent money (maybe top out around 150), is prestigious, and have a fair amount of autonomy. |

Date: August 28th, 2014 9:41 AM Author: Mildly Autistic Exhilarant Home Elastic Band there isn't the same revolving door between fed defender and private practice that there is for big-city USAOs. Whether this is because federal defenders are more likely to be true believers, or because the experience is not valued as highly, i do not know.
