You need to provide a bit more experience about your time as a prosecutor: how long were you there, how many trials, how many appeals, GJ work y/n, white collar work, how good was your law school, did you clerk?kcam1991 wrote:What are the typical exit options for a state prosecutor in a major city?

Best way to find out is to do a LinkedIn search for former Prosecutors that have worked out of your office to see where they landed. I do that for all my jobs I've worked, real interesting to see where people land. Some of it will really surprise you.kcam1991 wrote:What are the typical exit options for a state prosecutor in a major city?
Some of it goes right against common TLS knowledge. I've seen career paths from from document review to paralegal to in-house counsel at a top tech company (and person was not out of a top school). Or unranked law school to legal recruiter to cushy, well-paying government gig in a rich municipality. It can be much more telling than the general advice you get off law forums.
But generally advice you'll read here will b most often they leaving to a criminal defense firm or go solo. Otherwise, insurance defense and other litigation firms, midsize firms in litigation department. Sometimes the Federal Government.
