[quote=Anonymous]Agree that hours are never enough. If work done by a sixth year can be managed by an up and coming fifth year, fourth year, or third year, then it makes sense for the partner to give the work (and experience) to the up and coming associate. Client pays a little less per hour, but the more junior associate also costs less. I wouldn't count on government. Competition is stiff and hiring is very slow. It'll be slow at least until the budget gets fixed, and probably after that. It will turn around eventually because almost half of the federal workforce can retire in 10 years. For now, however, it's not much of an option. You should, however, try to understand what isn't exciting you about your current job before you make a move. You need to identify how you'd rather spend your days, weeks, months, and years. Spend money now to find a good recruiter or career coach. It's worth it -- the time goes by pretty quick. [/quote]
