You certainly sound like you have the qualifications.
What kind of cases do you want to try? Do you want to work in civil or criminal?
The current US Attorney once headed a local DA's office; some of those who do the interviewing and hiring now worked for him previously n the DA's office. Therefore, if you weren't a prosecutor at one time, or don't have roots/connections here, forget about working in criminal there. However, depending on what experience you have you may fare better applying to civil, especially if you have health care experience, or federal civil litigation experience. A lot of it is defensive litigation, (so insurance defense looks good too) some affirmative (False Claims Act, qui tam actions, FLU there always needs help if you want to do collections from felons, etc.)
Certainly looks great on a resume here, nice segue into a big firm. but not necessarily a partnership, unless you can bring biz with you. However, with your credentials, assuming you get your resume in the right hands at the right time, you might have a shot.
Great office, prime waterfront location, basically 9-5, i.e. you can have a nice life! If you can get in your golden.
Best of luck.
