Just got my forgiveness letter the second week of January. Sent my last certification in November 2021.

Class of 2011. Feels like a weight has been lifted from my chest. Contemplating going in house, but have a really good gig at DOJ. Pretty conflicted.

Wow someone liked this post I had over two years ago. I will say I left DOJ and went in house and more than doubled my maxed out GS15 salary. New Job has been great, but sometimes I miss being a prosecutor. Thankfully I get to live vicariously through my friends still at the office.

Has anyone left big 4 or other PA firms tax transaction service groups for industry (or know of anyone)? What was the role and salary bump, how are annual bonuses/raises in industry, what is a typical work week (hours) like? I don’t think I can take this always on just to stay afloat life much longer. For context I am considered a high performer, am near the top of the salary band at my level and have a great supporting network at Deloitte. It’s just not worth it to have zero personal life.

Has anyone signed a contract to work for X amount of years with the government and then broken that contract? Are there repercussions?

Those who are or have been AUSAs, what sort of letters of recommendation make the most impact on an application (outside of a former AUSA/judge etc..)?

I took a temporary job as an attorney advisor at the SBA this past fall b/c it offered a regular paycheck, and my solo practice was suffering b/c of the pandemic. I like the work.

Curious to hear more details though, both for specific DOJ components and other agencies!
