I've always had a pull to go do some policy work on the Hill. 1.5 years into biglaw now, have some connections, and it seems like it would be a great change. But not financially viable long term.
How reliably can one go from hill job to decent lobbying gig? Is this only plausible for staff of leadership? How high up should you try to rise before switching over to lobby side? What are typical exit ops from Hill work for law talking guys? Into the bowels of some federal agency?

If you're an LA to LC or LD (which btw you undersell the value) to the right industry, this is not CR at all.
Obviously someone with no ties or experience isn't getting shit. But the LA to someone on the Senate HELP Cmte with 6 years of health experience can waltz into GS14/15 jobs or Director of Fed Relations gigs, and with maybe some more experience you could end up at a major health org or company
Def 250K+ jobs, especially if you have some charisma and stay in the field
you don't even need to have worked on the hill, just around the hill; plenty of DC BIGLAWYERS make the jump

I don't know why more lawyers don't pursue this path. They're mostly polisci shitheads and they are more than willing to move to random cities. Yes, you need some experience, but not ALL of them require Hill experience. In fact, you can work at an association, get some $$ and experience, and then go be a senior advisor on the Hill, then become a Director or something higher level in lobbying.
JD is a positive. Biggest thing is to spin your experience in law as not one trying to be some law partner. But it is one of the remaining areas where a JD is a positive and many of the people hiring have them or want to see one.

I mean Corey L style from Trump he'll pull 400K, sure, is that 'cashing in?' I guess
but you can get a stable, SVP of Fed Govt Affairs gig with enough experience, which will easily be 200-300K, 9-6 kinda deal, at some association
it's basically like in-house $$$ except you have a lot more fun than lawyers
I agree if you want PARTNER-level $$$$ like at a law firm you need to get lucky but I think if you're willing to gun for it, say, you're running fed govt affairs and then move to a high-level office in the Senate, you could do it
there are surprisingly few true wonks out there on a lot of things if you play your cards right

I read a specific article that he's going to be lobbying and the guess was a 400K a year contract, idk man
I'm just saying if you're some V50 lawyer and make moves, you can actually do this instead of being stuck as an associate --> in house ---> dead end hating life
it's a lot more fun
