currently working. direct quote from partner (not flame) "yeah, give me a call if there's anything you need. I'll be in front of the computer most of the weekend. although, I should spend some time with my family so they don't forget who I am."

this is the best possible outcome. welcum to hell

i would be a little better with that if i was making 160k but im not even making 70k a year. i would also be ok if it was straight up 9-5 but it isnt.

and i feel lucky because at least i have a job

loooooool

There's not much upside to staying in govt with that pay and those hours. At least with law firms you can work your way into six figures once you have 2-3 yrs of experience and are marketable. Is it at least a decent clerkship but with a judge who works his clerks hard? That could be OK long term.

the "group" im in is currently understaffed by 4 and with 2 senior attorneys on vacation/leave. apparently they are coming back soon and 4 new hires are set to begin in october. so things could slow down.

plus once i get licensed i get a 10 percent raise i think

It's the government. When they say that they plan to start people in October it means that they'll finally get the funding in place and all of the other bureaucratic hr bullshit by January.
