Any advice on getting a job as a prosecutor or in another trial-heavy role in the Philly/DE area? 3L with no ties to the region besides my partner taking a job there

DE is looking for prosecutors. If I were you, I would apply for a clerkship in DE. It’s an easy shoo in to the DOJ’s office. I clerked in DE and towards of my clerkship, the DOJ held a couple informational sessions to recruit clerks. Feel free to DM me if you’re interested in talking offline

Send in cover letters, just explain you’re moving for personal reasons and (if you can) demonstrate you’re passionate about prosecution. You’re probably looking at Philly, Delaware County, Montgomery County, Bucks County, Chester County, Delaware DOJ, and Camden (NJ) DA’s offices in terms of what’s doable from that area. I believe all have decently sized prosecutor’s offices. Could also do apply civil litigation roles in PA, NJ (may have to commute to Trenton), or DE.

Edit to say I am not on this path but recently graduated from Villanova law and these are all places the prosecutor/gov’t interested people ended up in.

Philly would have to actually prosecute crimes first

Study the trial prosecutorial book and gain certain in the specialty, the more knowledge you consume the better it will be when you apply, also have a base to show the start of the prosecutorial process.

Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
