1. A job as a federal prosecutor was once very desirable.

Eons ago as a recent law school grad I applied for an opening in the US Attorney's office in Minneapolis (from which people have lately been quitting in droves, see the gory details here: https://www.twincities.com/2026/02/07/prosecutors-began-investigating-renee-goods-killing-washington-told-them-to-stop/?share=hanoritansesw2ctoeii). I didn't get the job, but I did get an interview, which I considered at the time to be something of a prize anyhow. If I had ended up there I'd be retired by now, fortunately. Right now that office is almost completely paralyzed because so many people have quit. Which means that all the other federal crimes aren't being prosecuted.
