How does the court determine salary? While the grade makes sense, how do they determine which step within the grade you should be placed in? Is it something one negotiates? (Fed Dist. Ct.) Thanks!!

You’ll always be step 1 as a term clerk. It’s not worth worrying about how it’s calculated unless you’re a long term JS employee. Make sure you’re looking at the salary for your specific region as well (or rest of the US if your region doesn’t have a specific pay scale).

No problem. Make sure you get credit for everything that can possibly count as experience for purposes of calculating your grade. The difference between JS grades is really significant now.

Though my current company is an mnc but not that big and no work pressure is there, amazing work life balance. However, there is little to no learning and its very slow, the project is just starting and the client itself is not clear what they want. Do you think I should switch just because its a big 4.
