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.
