[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does primary parent mean?

I used to be in the federal government and found it to be super micro-managey and not at all conducive to a flex schedule required. And at entry level you have to accrue leave which can take a while so that you can take time off.  But still as an entry level all leave has to be approved usually.

Maybe things have changed post-pandemic but YMMV.

OP here. Spouse works long hours with occasional travel, don’t have family in the area. So looking for something ideally compatible with school pick-up and drop-off, staying home with sick kids, etc. [/quote]

This is not going to happen your first year at any job, let alone your first year out of law school.  I would advice OP to get into a transactional practice at a big firm for 2 years then move on to the unicorn job she's searching for, which may actually exist after she's worked in big law for a few years.  I have a great job in the law with time for pick-ups, drop-offs, and staying home with sick kids, but I worked very hard for 10 years to get to this point.  [/quote]
