OP, I’d wait until you get the job, so you know what full-time entails. The reality is that full-time is frequently more like part-time hours, so don’t give up pay that you don’t need to. Many weeks you’ll actually work only 10 hours - and from home!

To answer that specific question- yes, the CFPB has the ability to grant part-time arrangements.

To answer the question you didn't ask- it is extremely extremely unlikely, particularly on a permanent basis.


Thanks! Is this in all of the groups or just litigating ones?


All groups, all positions, including non-attorney ones.

Can you share more information about how you made this happen and which agencies seem open to it? Was this something you negotiated when hired? Thanks so much!

This is usually what happens.

Do you already work there? Most agencies use part-time as flexibility for existing staff: it's pretty unusual to hire at part-time.

Does the CFPB allow attorneys to work less than full time? Some federal agencies have established (although not always used by many) programs that allow folks to work less than full time (75%, etc.).
