[quote=Anonymous]I'm a career government attorney that's moved up the ranks about as far as I can go (next level of supervisors are locked in for at least the next 10 plus years) in a relatively niche area, and got several inquiries from headhunters confirming my sense that now would be a good time to jump to big law if I were ever going to do it. I'm very comfortable in my current government position and stayed in my position for work-life balance, but now that my child is getting older and more self-sufficient, I thinking it may not be a bad time to focus on my career, especially since I don't want to be a "lifer" government attorney and stuck in a rut doing what I'm doing for the next 20 years. I do have prospects for business development that I think I could work on but having never done it before, am apprehensive of leaving the cocoon and failing miserably after being counsel for 2 years and then being shown the doors. Am I nuts to be contemplating this move? [/quote]
