[quote=Anonymous][quote]have a lot of sympathy that you hate your job - working is miserable when you don't like what you do and it can poison many different parts of your life, but you are completely out of touch with reality. $120K is a nice salary for a 40 hr per week job with good benefits. My DH is in biglaw, so I understand your point of comparison, but take a moment and count your blessings - which include a very nice income and work-life balance[/quote] I am not the OP, and I like being a lawyer, but the assumption that government lawyers work 40 hours per week is often not correct. I'm a litigating attorney (not DOJ) and have worked through my last two vacations, and many weekends and evenings as well. I like what I do, and would not change careers, but it isn't 40 hours per week.[/quote]
