Customs and Border Protection General Attorney

Does anyone have an insight on these positions? I’ve noticed DHS CBP has been hiring for these general attorney spots all over the country. They’re GS11-14 positions and seem to cover a wide array of duties. Here’s an example of one posted recently:

And for those of you who’ve had experienced interviewing for these jobs: what’s the interview process like?

I had multiple personal connections at the GC shop but I'd say the interview was a very federal position panel interview. The questions asked were really more about my GS level and step expectations and which division I wanted to join (coming from another agency at GS 14 but might need to take a grade demotion).

They wanted you to take a grade demotion even though the position could be filled at GS14? I’m currently a GS14 and would not be happy taking a grade demotion. I’d be hesistant to take a GS13 job with 5-6 of experience.
