age? have to uproot a family? i guess it ultimately depends on whether or not the job is actually something that will allow you to move back out to the private sector. i can't imagine being pigeonholed in government, even with it being as cushy as it is.

DOJ runs USAOs. The main DOJ office in DC also employs attorneys to work on civil rights and environmental cases and certain complex crim cases

no they have civil too

main justice basically runs shit

all USAO activity has to be run through main justice

and then for some shit lyike civil rights, public corruption main justice basically runs all of it

USAOs have a lot of autonomy in crim cases. Main Justice is not as interesting for criminal. Opposite is true for civil.

I am confused...could you quickly summarize the types of atty positions that are just DOJ, those that are AUSA, and the interelation between the two agencies? What is main justice? Thanks friendos. I've actually been wondering this for long itme.
