Enforcement works long hours. And we know Corp Fin can be rigorous with continuous work.
What are the easier attorney jobs within the SEC? |

| Ha! Same poster keeps coming back. Still trying to work four-hour days for full-time pay and a financial regulator’s salary. Oh, I’m sure this poster also wants maximum telework or remote. No wonder people think poorly of feds. |

| Someone is jealous they don't work for a financial regulator and it's showing. OP is just looking for work-balance in representing the agency's mission. |

Enforcement works long hours?? Nonsense. Why would they? Except for the OCCASIONAL TRO or statute of limitations deadline, they have like 2-4 years to conduct investigations.
If they’re regularly working long hours, it’s only bc they’re awful time managers and incredibly disorganized. Unless you think 42 hrs per week is “long.” |

| I’d get in first to any office, then lateral if you don’t have good work life balance. |

| I love the assumption that it's easy to get a job in whatever office at the SEC you want. I wonder if OP has ever read the requirements in various SEC job postings. |

+1. OP takes narcissism to the next level by just assuming her skills will qualify her to pick and choose among the divisions. That said I think this I just a troll post. |

| Don't assume OP is a female. OP didn't identify a gender. |

Exams you have to travel but is easy if you are familiar with the rules and their implementation.
Rulemaking seems like it could be easy depending on how quickly management wants to rules published. But some of the releases read law reviewish, which I hated in law school. Admin judges seem like they have no work until there is clarity on their constitutionality. So maybe here? |

Though it is stereotypical, female attorneys, in fact, more frequently look for a lifestyle position than their male counterparts. |

Are there many attorney openings there? Thought it mainly skewed academic. |

It’s 2023 bud. You’re living in the dark ages. #Times up for comments like this. |

Some, but not a ton, and I really don't have a sense of their work load. I'd look towards Investor Advocate or Investor Education as two pretty cushy places. |

It’s still true in child bearing years. I had a Flex Time WFH job in financial services and 100 percent of extremely qualified candidates were women between 28-36 with young kids. They had MBAs, CPAs, Big 4 yet took a Full time WFH job with flex hours. No man would do that. I hired all women as they were most qualified. Every meeting felt like an episode of the view mixed with Wall Street week |
