[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This job is a black hole. Made the mistake of taking this job immediately after law school when I was seeking a launchpad into the feds. Unfortunately, every reputable fed attorney job knows what a joke the “legal” work at the BVA is. I had to pound the pavement for years before I was able to get out. If you have the option, do not take this job.[/quote]
This is 100% accurate.  The same holds for similar admin attorney jobs at SSA and HHS.[/quote]whats worse being a decision writer or in doc review ?[/quote]

Doc review x1000. At least as fed you get benefits, paid leave, predictable work week, etc. And often there are opportunities for special workgroups and details to get experience outside your niche. Not everyone will rise to the top, but there is a career path there if you want it.[/quote]what about doc review as a staff attorney or for a federal contractor where you have benefits vs decision writer? I wasn’t referring to temp doc review but that is the most common kind. [/quote]
