I have a clerkship in the SD of Iowa starting this fall and have had friends/classmates who have clerked for most of the active/senior judges in the district. Feel free to shoot me a message if you have a question you think I can help out with!

I clerked at the state level in Des Moines, but have some insight into some of the judges and the experiences of friends who clerked there! Feel free to message if you want.

US citizen here, and I would like to move to Europe for a couple of years. What are some big named companies (other than big 4 & MBB) that will sponsor my working visa? I would also like to move early next year. Is that unrealistic though due to COVID? TIA 😊

Hello JALPARIYON,

I have just started my Career in the IT
Industry 8-9 Months back.

Actually, I am in Dilemma whether I
should ask for release from the project
and get back to Full Stack Dot Net
Core Developer profile(got training)
or stick to PowerApps, as it "might"
become a BIG thing in the near
future... As I am really uncertain and
confused, how would be my Career
Path and Roadmap?
Would there be enough opportunities
in the market and good compensation
associated with PowerApps Profile?

Additional Posts in Law Clerks

I went to a T14 law school, got great grades and glowing recommendations, and wrote (what I thought was) a great writing sample. But I got rejected from all 70 federal clerkships I applied to. The only thing I can think of is: I took a non traditional route after law school and did a 2 year public interest fellowship in a niche field of administrative law. The rejection gave me a lot of self hatred. I still really want to clerk. Any advice? What is wrong with me? I feel like a failure.

I’ve been at my clerkship for 5 years (4 with a different judge) and one with my current judge, and I heard horrible things about him before starting, but I assumed they were exaggerated. Turns out they’re all true, and I’ve had to start therapy to deal with him and the incredibly toxic environment. I’m trying to get out ASAP b/c he also has a history of firing clerks without cause or notice, but I think I’ll only be able to give two weeks notice if i get the job I’m interviewing for. Thoughts?

Need advice on a specific question!
Interviewed with Chicago court 2 weeks ago; they decide mid-August. Interviewed with DC judge last week; hear from him by this Friday. Chicago said if I need an answer before August, they'd try to make a decision about me sooner.
Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?
