Probably pretty easy. Is this an “I’m already at the SEC and looking at biglaw” post or an “I’m thinking about applying to the SEC as a way to get into biglaw” post?
If the latter, fair warning that the SEC (depending on regional office and department) can be just as selective as biglaw (depends on your experience and background, of course).
Thank you. Appreciate your advice!
If already at the SEC, I'd much rather stay there and try to work up to a leadership position so you can come in as a partner (or just stay there period).
Doesn't make a ton of sense to me to leave the SEC for an associate gig, though I've heard of people doing it. Makes a lot of sense to do the reverse, though.
Depends entirely on seniority. I see no distinction between coming in as an associate and coming in as an NEP (because there isn't one). If you're seven years out from graduation, sure, maybe you'll come in as an NEP if that exists at the firm. I wouldn't recommend doing that, though.
You can come in as a first year associate, you can come in as a partner in charge of an entire department with a fat pile of shares. The former co-directors of enforcement left to head up the securities investigations practices at Wilmer and S&C, for example.

Depends on department. If CorpFin, you can definitely get a job. Every corpfin candidate of mine I take to market has at least 2-3 offers. If investment management, can take a minute but you’ll find something. Enforcement is hit or miss - depends on your credentials.
I’ve placed over a dozen SEC people last two years - if you’re interested in a conversation, shoot me a note.
