I just had the discussion. It’s perform or out, work life balance is similar but it can be more travel heavy because you often have to focus on more cases with fewer hours each. There are utilization targets. Pay is pretty much the same up to Principal. You’ll get a chance to spend time on white papers or books, go to conferences and talk there etc.

D1 is right across the board. It is perform or out, and at more senior levels “perform” generally means keeping yourself billable (at least 50% of your time billable is the general rule of thumb). The other 50% you’d spend developing IP, building your brand through white papers, etc.

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar.

I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?
