This sounds promising:

Recent Law School Graduate to Assist In Development of a Website for Attorneys. Temporary relocation to Ukraine is necessary to work directly with development staff. This position is initially without salary

This makes the $10k /yr Boston College job seem reasonable.

--LinkRemoved--

what the i don't even...

[ninereal]

so, my GF's family has a lakehouse out in the rural part of our state that we went to while I was studying for the bar

on our way back home, driving through a tiny one-street town, I commented on how much it would suck to live there

guess where I just applied

Enraged. Found out we have Symplicity reciprocity with the TTT in my home market, from another student, despite the fact that I just met with CSO about how to find more job openings there less than a week ago. Also found out that they have over 200 job postings... compared to our barely 40.

Congrats to everyone leaving!! And dear God I hope I'm right behind you

Corporate work must be on the rise again. Sucks since my resume is really litigation based.

Don't let that discourage you. My job has nothing to do with anything on my résumé. Apply to anything you'd be willing to do.

[YankeesFan]

Willing to trade FL job postings if anyone has NC ones. I would post what I have but there are just too many.

This. When I relocated from the bay area to SoCal following the bar, I requested symplicity access for a local TTT. I was amazed at how many substantive job listings they posted. The amount of symplicity postings put my school's site to shame.

Just wrapped my interview with the hiring committee for DA's office. It was brutal; 15 or so prosecutors firing questions, hypos, and I had to conduct a voir dire (first time ever).

Hopefully this pans out as it is basically my dream job.
