Current Law Students - Would You Join DOJ? Reasons & Signing Bonus

PBS NewsHour reporter question: Would you consider joining the DOJ? Why/why not? Hi, my name is Ali Rogin. I am a correspondent with the PBS NewsHour (happy to prove it's really me) and am working on a story about the future of the Department of Justice. As part of the segment, I'm hoping to hear from current law students about whether or not you would consider joining the Department of Justice. You can feel free to comment below and I might follow up with you over DM, you can DM me here, or email/text me at either arogin (at) newshour (dot) org, or on Signal at PBSAli.41 These are the questions I'm looking to have students answer: 1) Would you consider joining the DOJ? If so, why? If not, why not? 2) If you answered yes to 1, is a signing bonus an attractive perk? 3) If you answered no to 1, would you have a different answer if the administration in office were different and treated the DOJ differently? 4) If you answered no to 1, and wanted to still enter public service, are you hoping to work in state or local government in a legal role? I may follow up with you to confirm things, but all of this would be on the basis of anonymity I would not be directly quoting anyone or referring to specific schools. Thank you for your consideration.
