Oh yeah fold in your PI work there. I realized the work I valued most was my pro Bono projects and it made sense to explore PI after that.

“It was a life changing amount of money for me and I thought I owed it to my family to explore the opportunity. Once I started doing the work I learned <insert reason that jives with where you’re applying now eg I wanted to have more of an impact or I wanted to represent causes I believed in>

Fair enough re taking the recruiter call. If you aren’t at all curious about the “what could be”, I think your decision is made and there’s nothing wrong with that. Careers are a means to an end. Do what you want and what will make you happy. I have a lingering nag that you took the interview wonder...

Why did you apply in the first place?

Congrats on the offer as well!

Obvi lawyer perspective here but more generally if you are up for a work life challenge temporarily, those types of jobs can open lots of doors down the road

Trump extended another month grace period

I guess no one has gotten to the end of IBR and PAYE to actually find out whether the forgiven amount is taxed. Anybody who commentates on this issue is essentially making a prediction about how the IRS and courts will interpret the tax code, right? I don’t know if there is a definitive “correct” a...

So is that guy saying that even if you just did 25 years on REPAYE that there is actually no tax bomb? If true, seems like TLS was giving people a lot of shitty advice back in the day Yes it’s only taxable to the extent you have net worth. I’ve said this for years now. No one understands the tax bo...

FYI - y'all should call you servicers to see if the extension applies to you. My income based repayment anniversary is on January 1, so I don't qualify. The date is not when your recertification is due, but the anniversary of when you officially entered income based repayment is the reference date ...

It’s fine to ask now. What’s the point in waiting a year. If you don’t like the work, best to get out

Yep nothing to worry about it

Does everyone else interpret this to mean we just don't need to recertify this year and our payments next year will be the same as this year?

Correct.

I got an email. I’m on my phone but will post the screen shot when I’m on a computer later this weekend.

No annual income recertification necessary this year either. Just got message that all annual recerts are extended for at least a year.

My email is from fed loan servicing, “an office of the US department of education” and also bears the dept of education insignia. I’d consider that from dept of education.

Yeah DACA is what I was getting at. I think we’re good regardless. Will opinion in my eyes.

I work in government, and I’m really hoping to qualify for PSLF after just a few more years. Is it safe to pay nothing on my loans until January 2021? Can I safely assume that DOE will properly implement Trump’s executive order on student loans? Yes. Dept of Ed is also an agency. Arbitrary and capr...

Yep just got my email from the dept of Ed confirming each $0 waived payment counts the same. Awesome!

Worst case scenario you don’t make 3 payments right now and they don’t count. I don’t see why you’d make 3 payments where a $0 payment might count.

No I hadn’t gotten there yet. I disagree and think they will count. Trump is literally telling the agency how to do it. It’s an APA question and there’s no clear law on this specific issue but I think forgiveness or not (or counting the payment) if done by the agency would be an agency action. The s...

In what sense? Other than making sure that someone fills out the appropriate form so you can certify it was a qualifying job, there isn’t anything to do. I mean when you leave it for good. I was 2.5 years in and left for private practice during the pandemic. I normally would be doing my annual cert...

My b. Thought that was the sarcasm.

SLS takes a lead over YLS in the clerking numbers this year! Also LOL@ their defensive-sounding specificity w/ the JD-Advantage jobs... "THESE ARE THE COOL ONES, NOT THE LAME ONES GUYS!!!" In all seriousness, those are quite impressive JD-advantage gigs though! Harvard continues to lag Chicago on c...

Harvard - 74.1% (+1.4%) Columbia - 84.0% (+2.0%) Virginia - 78.3% (-5.0%) UCLA - 51.4% (+3.0%) WUSTL - 52.3% (+0.1%) Florida - 24.2% (+7.3%) Washington & Lee - 35.5% (+9.8%) Barring a surprise off the top rope from NYU or Northwestern, I believe we're able to crown Columbia as the elite employment ...

Duke > sTTTanford confirmed

Why do people post this stupid shit. Clearly Stanford grads are going to venture capital and tech right out the gate.
