[quote=Anonymous](1) I am full time.  We have the option to telework but I only do it as needed (appointment in the middle of the day or service person coming to the house).  In theory I have an 8 hr a day schedule but I sometime stay late or work from home.  I also have a blackberry and I check it but it all evens out bc I pretty much come and go as I please and time keeping in our office is on an "honor" system and no one really cares so long as you meet your deadline and do quality work.

(2) Less stressful than a law firm but not a walk in the park either; I am challenged bc I am in dealing with a new law - basicly implementing things from scratch.  I may get dull in a few years?

(3) Yes, definately a better parent bc I feel no pressure to have face time and have complete flexibility to take time to so stuff with my kids?

(4) Health coverage is great and you get 401(k) matching.  Note that there is no paid maternity leave?

(5) Sometimes I wish I were at a firm not because of the money but becasue the people are much more driven.  Some of the people that I deal with are just plain lazy and unmotivated and that really infuriates me, plus it takes so much longer to get things done in government?  I definately plan to head back to the private sector once my kids are senior in high school.

(6) Definately happy with  work-life balance, but I think it is bc I just landed in the right group.  We are a team of 12 and the boss is fairly hands off - which I personally love.

(7) Is there anything that you would do differently knowing what you know now?  - No
