[quote=Anonymous]OP, could help you more with this if you can give more details about the area you practice in and the agencies you are looking at I will say if you are in corporate/securities and looking to move to SEC - it is fine to mention looking to improve quality of life. But, don't make that your sole reason. A better reason is that you are looking to gain experience that you would otherwise not be able to do (in terms of greater specialization, or working on the front-end - not just reacting - in the rule-making process), and that you are bringing current, real-world experience to the agency. I know there are some agencies (and some people in some agencies including SEC) who have a chip on their shoulders re BigLaw experience. You need to be sensitive to this and try to read the particular person you are interviewing with. If a person with this type of attitude would be your supervisor, the position won't be a good fit for you anyway.[/quote]
