YWN is not set up for private messages, so I’m not sure how either of you expects me to get in touch. However, my husband goes to a T-14 school, so I am not worried about his prospects. He has a total of 24 interviews scheduled over the next few weeks for OCI.
Public interest jobs are more accessible, and more lucrative, than is popularly believed, ESPECIALLY with geographic flexibility. If you’re stuck in a New York centric mentality, you’re going to have issues. Don’t limit yourself.
How much does a frum family need to survive? rebdoniel’s suggestion of $200K was lambasted on another thread. So if we believe it is less than $200K, the question is how much less. Public interest lawyers start at $50K or $60K, but can get up to $120K or $150K before the ten-year mark. And that’s assuming the wife is not working at all. Sounds like enough to me.
