[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I guess what I am looking for is more guidance regarding which agencies are best to work for.  Which ones are more 9-5 with no weekends?  Which ones have the best prospects if one wants to exit government or rise in government?  I am afraid to make the leap from big law to government only to be working awful hours for way less pay.[/quote]

I didn't post before because I didn't want to be rude, and perhaps my perspective isn't universal, but for what it's worth, if you are coming to the govt solely for better hours with no interest in the agency's work except as it might help you in your career, then my agency is not likely to be all that interested in you.

OP here.  Well, this thread has certainly gone south.  I do not mean to give the impression that I am not interested in government work.  I am actually interested in multiple agencies, but my interest is tempered, however, by the fact that I have had a very poor quality of life for a long time and want to be careful in making my next move.  I am quite sure that anyone who is familiar with big law understands where I am coming from.  Thus, the goal of this thread is not to discuss what various agencies do (I can easily google that and I am already quite familiar).  My goal is to ask insiders about where I can find a better quality of life without ending up in a dead-end position or doing my career real harm in the long term.[/quote]
