[quote=Anonymous]Agree with the PP who suggested that you just start reading all the attorney postings on usajobs. Set up an automatic notification, with whatever parameters make sense to you, and you'll get an email every time there is an announcement meeting your terms. I've been in government for 7 years after 3 years of Biglaw, and I still read the daily email of postings just to see what's out there.

Most postings read fairly similarly with some obviously requiring specialized experience, others really focusing on litigation skills, and a few that really are looking for good, smart lawyers who are willing to learn a new area.  I focused on postings in the latter group and ended up in a small independent agency I had never heard of before. I learned a ton, never worked more than 40 hrs, and worked at home 3 days/wk after a couple years. I got a little bored and moved up to a higher level, higher stress, higher hours job in the same agency, but it's still tons better than Biglaw life.[/quote]
