[quote=Anonymous]This board seems to have a lot of collective knowledge about DOJ.  I am a law clerk choosing between DOJ Honors and Biglaw.  The previous discussions of the family friendliness of both of these options were great.  Right now I'm trying to figure out how choosing DOJ would impact my Biglaw opportunities down the road, and I have heard conflicting info about this. If I end up in a litigating component known for going to trial fairly often (certainly more often than biglaw), do people often leave those kinds of positions for firms? After how many years? And what kind of firms do they often end up at? I have been assuming that the experience would be more valuable than the same number of years at a firm professionally, but now I'm wondering whether it would actually increase my chances at partnership? I'm willing to take a short term salary hit if I know I'm getting valuable experience and can bring in serious money later.  But if I'm actually decreasing my chances at cashing out successfully, that's a problem.  [/quote]
