Staff attorney at big law firm

I think one issue to consider might be, how predictable is the workload for the work you expect to be doing? Of course client emergencies come up now and then, but for the most part I know what's on my schedule for the next two weeks and can plan my days accordingly. Except for those client emergencies, I can get my work done ahead of time when I I know I want to be home at 3, etc.

But that would be harder to manage if my schedule was up in the air every week or dependent on discovery work that was less predictable.
