Going to USAO was objectively bad decision

Date: July 20th, 2018 10:22 PM Author: Boyish rough-skinned cuck Went to a large, big-city USAO 2 yrs ago, and 2.5 yrs out of law school. Job has been fun, but not fun enough to justify the shit-ton of hours. So my personal life kind of sucks and now I want to move back to my hometown.
The way that my office works, I can't really get marketable, impressive experience without putting in another 3-4 years.
So if I go back to a law firm now, I will probably be worse off from a career development perspective than if I had just stayed at the law firm to begin with. And of course, I've left at least 400k on the table.
But if I stay the 3-4 years to reap the career benefits, I'm going to be stuck working 60 hour weeks in a high COL city that I don't want to live in anymore.
lol @ lawyers. |

The fellas over at the USAO for ED Wisc might be impressed by your big fancy EDNY work experience. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4031406&forum_id=2#36468879) |

Date: July 20th, 2018 10:51 PM Author: Boyish rough-skinned cuck I applied to an opening in my hometown office (which is also competitive) about 3 months ago. Not a peep. I'm a little surprised that I didn't get an interview. Spot may have been promised to someone before the posting, or all hiring could be on ice until a new US Atty comes in.

Date: July 20th, 2018 11:00 PM Author: Boyish rough-skinned cuck Yeah, but I actually like the job and find it meaningful. It's just not enough given the personal costs.
But yes, the gs-14 telework job probably would have allowed me to have a more fulfilling life. |

clerkship, 3-4 years in biglaw, as many years as possible in USAO until they make you a deputy chief or something, then back to biglaw as counsel, then pray that you're promoted to non-equity partner, then &c |
