Job searching in DC post clerkship

Post by Anonymous User » Tue Apr 06, 2021 10:24 pm

T30 grad with a federal district clerkship under belt and wants to move to DC starting in the fall and join a litigation shop. I finished my clerkship last year and would’ve moved to DC then but got delayed because of COVID. Instead, took a gig with State AG doing federal appellate work for this year.

I will have 2 years of legal experience (1 clerking, 1 @ State AG) as of next fall. Any advice with how to market myself to firms in DC? I assume I’d come in as a first or second year? Am I competitive for BigLaw in this market?

Anon bc sharing personal information.
