[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have friends who I think are genuinely present dads who are in-house, but zero who are in big law. FWIW I am an SES government lawyer who is probably about 10 years older than you. I make over $200K now. I would choose my job over my old big law job 10 times out of 10. Even at my busiest work times, I will be at the thing I told my kids I’d be at; I will turn off my phone for a day if we have special plans. I could never have done that in big law. I had a partner track me down through my husband’s phone on a weekend when I didn’t answer my phone for a 10 minute period for a new “emergency” I had no reason to suspect was coming on a Sunday. No thanks.[/quote]

My DH is like you. However he thinks his SES position will be reclassified and he will be RIF’d because Trump hates his agency. Hope your agency is one of those Trump likes.[/quote]

+2. My DH would love to stay in his SES position, but can see the writing on the wall and is moving to the private sector before all the slots he is competitive for are gone.[/quote]
