[quote=Anonymous]I'm in my second job at DOJ and it really completely depends on the position. Some jDOJ lawyer obs are very 9-5, but some folks I know are typically in the office more like 9-7, or longer depending on whether you have a big deadline coming up, etc. I worked in Biglaw (in NYC) for four years before joining DOJ and I think the quality of life at ANY government agency is going to be better than a firm, where 10-12 hour days were the norm for me. There are certainly annoying things, though. When I was at a firm, I could take the afternoon off to go to the doctor and yes, that's fewer hours I billed, but I didn't have to worry about running out of my accrued leave time. Also, my second baby is due in the fall, so I'll be taking my second, almost entirely unpaid, maternity leave. So there are definite trade offs.[/quote]
