[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's a junior partner right now with very little control over his schedule. If he spends a few years in a high level govt post, he can come back to BigLaw as a rainmaker (or a senior level of counsel) with more control. He'll move up the totem pole. I think it makes sense as long as he moves to the right govt position. I don't think you'll be happy living on one govt salary. That's hard to do around here. You should consider getting a job or agree that the government job will be temporary. [/quote] There is NO GUARANTEE that he will ever be able to come back to biglaw if he leaves and goes to government. None. Go into this knowing that. [/quote] He will not go back. The talk of going back was talk to make the decision less scary for himself and OP. He already told her that the fed job was his dream job. They need to plan accordingly. [/quote]
