prosecutors deal with the dregs of society. i dont want to make a career based on putting dumb people in prison. it's shocking how casually my peers talk about using ausa as a stepping stone to partnership. just put dumb blacks and mexicans in prison for a few years, you'll get great trial experience and then make millions of dollars!

If you've smoked pot in the past seven years you can't be an AUSA (makes you disclose on background form). I thought this was a pretty insane requirement considering like 1/4 of the US is on the verge of marijuana legalization. I don't think the FBI even goes back seven years in hiring agents.

I've also heard the pay is shit and you don't get much in the way of actual trial experience because everyone pleads guilty in federal court

I don't think they test you but they interview your background references and others who know you. Medical card doesn't matter because pot is still controlled under federal law. All this crap for the chance to earn 70k!

I've heard this from everyone. State prosecutor is truly trial by fire, more trials, and more interesting trials. Everything in USAO is fraud, felon in possession, or immigration related.
