[quote=Anonymous]Make sure it really is an improved schedule. There are government attorney jobs where the hours rival those of biglaw firms. Think about whether you are contemplating this as a short-term career change or whether you might want to stay with the government for a long time. Obviously you cannot decide without working there, but just try to think through your possible future career paths. If you take this job, is this a place where people stay for their whole career, or just go for a few years? Where do they go from there? What sort of skills will you pick up there? Where would you be marketable from there, both in government and in private practice? I was a biglaw associate for a few years and left for a government job that I thought would last for a few years. 15 years later, I am still a fed. [/quote]
