[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Attorneys who work for very large law firms in mergers and acquisitions are expected to be on call at all times for emergency fire drills. Some have even been called back to the office during their honeymoons.

Working as an attorney for the federal government is considered to be a cushy job.[/quote]

I am a federal litigator in a different agency and this is why I agreed to half the salary I could have gotten at a firm.   There are some nights/weekends, but “my kid has a school play” is an acceptable reason to reschedule an internal meeting.  [/quote]

I’ve never heard of an SEC staff atty working nights or weekends. Unless they’re extremely disorganized or poor planners. [/quote]

Have you ever been on a rule making? [/quote]

I think this PP must be a non-attorney or maybe a bitter Biglaw lawyer. [/quote]

I'm on a rulemaking right now and it's pretty brutal. I'd say I'm averaging 60 hours a week over the last 3 months. I know that's cake for some big law folks, but that's why you get the big pay. We don't.
