[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to hijack the conversation, but does anyone wish they were doing something else? For the last several minutes, I’ve been sitting here reading about a Veteran’s bacterial vaginosis. It’s excruciating to say the least. Makes me wish that I had studied harder in collage and law school and gotten a “real” attorney job at the DOJ or in big law. Okay, rant over. Back to the vaginosis.[/quote]

The grass is always greener...

I know someone who had a "real" attorney job at the DOJ in ~2017-2019 and was asked to take clearly illegal positions in cases.  It sounds like things at the DOJ are even worse at the moment.  Big law jobs have long, unpredictable hours.  They often break down to not much more pay on a per-hour basis than what Board attorneys get.  Slow, steady, predictable is fine.  I'll take that over the alternative, even if it means reading about vaginosis from time to time.[/quote]

Well, the DOJ is currently hiring for just this reason so there is an opportunity for BVA attorneys to go to the DOJ. It just requires you to put your license on the line in federal court but so far gov attorneys have successfully navigated that with creative wordsmithing.[/quote]
