[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you had to choose between two nearly identical jobs, would you go in house or fed govt at the top of the GS scale.[/quote]

I’ve done both.  In house wins hands-down.  I’m surrounded by smart people and innovation vs a culture who clocks in for a paycheck.  Hard work is rewarded, as my boss has the discretion to give me a substantial bonus and/or stock grants.  I learn so much and my skills have multiplied. I feel like I have many options for my future career, both at my current company and if I want to move to another in house position.  I regret wasting any time as a fed, but at least I know the grass is not greener. [/quote]

It depends on where you are in your career, what your home life is like (i.e. supportive spouse), etc...  Unlike the PP, some in-house folks would be willing to switch to working for the federal government.  They've done their time in private practice and in-house, and are looking to engage in public service for a few years - perhaps at an SES or political appointee level.  If aggressively putting away a nest egg isn't needed anymore, then a federal government job - particularly one that's interesting and challenging - might be just what some lawyers want.[/quote]
