[quote=Anonymous](1) Are you part-time, full-time, flexible schedule? Do you ever work from home? How much flexibility do you have? Do you keep 9-5 hours or a different schedule?  I am full time at home 40 hours a week with bonuses depending on productivity and paid overtime on occasion

(2) What is your stress level? Are you challenged by your job? Stress level is very low.  I'm not really challenged but I'm ok with that

(3) Do you feel like you are a better or more "present" parent because of your job? yes.  I have a lot more time to be with my kid and have a good salary

(4) Are the benefits all that they are hyped up to be? Not really.  We are on my husband's health plan b/c his is less expensive and covers more than any fed plan.  As far as the 401(k) and leave, yes it is awesome.  I also work for an agency that allows us to do maternity comp time so we can earn extra paid time off above our regular leave.  I also am in the 8 hour leave category so I actually end up donating lots of leave at the end of the year.  I take off plenty for vacation each year too.

(5) Do you ever wish that you worked at a firm? Why or why not? I haven't worked at a firm.  The only time I wish I would have done it is when I go to a CLE in my broad area of practice and hear about what is going on and think it would have been interesting to work on some of that other stuff.  I have a really narrow focus within my practice area.

(6) Are you happy with your job and home life (and so-called work-life balance)? Absolutely.

(7) Is there anything that you would do differently knowing what you know now? I would have worked in a firm in the late 90's for a few years and then came back to the agency where I am currently working, just for the exposure to a broader practice area.[/quote]
