[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, frankly you sounds a little entitled for being only 5 years out, want to stay in govt and have a cush telework set up with govt hours, and making $106K.  Of course, your classmates working in corporate firms make 3x as much. They also work 6-7 days a week and ungodly hours (particular fifth year associates).

Govt attorney here (DOJ GS-15).  The OP has it pretty good-- the attorneys who are making 3 times your salary are working awful hours and billing their time in 6-minute increments.  You give up some money when you choose the government over a private firm--the tradeoff is usually more interesting work, more responsibility early in your career, and a more family-friendly schedule.  You have that, plus you work from home?  I really don't see what you're complaining about.  If you want to make more money, you're going to have to give up some flexibility and free time.  There's no dream job that will pay you a biglaw salary to work at home for eight hours a day.  [/quote]
