Been here about 2.5 years. WLB isn’t bad, about average for the industry. Definitely commercial is better. I’ve been public sector almost the entire time, only had one experience with a commercial engagement and it was so much more relaxed and didn’t have to deal with gov’t folks with ego problems. Also don’t have to worry about clearances if you go commercial

In my experience it is very difficult to switch from PS to C. I tried to move to C a while ago and got a lot of resistance or just apathy from HR and the PPMDs. Average workweek I’d say is 42-45 hrs for me personally, though I am not in audit, I’m ERM consulting

Where do you find the time to get everything done in the day when you have multiple partners, associates and equity partners that interrupt you and want things turned around immediately while simultaneously working on deadlines? I feel like I’m the only one that can’t manage a 70+ case load without letting someone down. I constantly have to say “Can I do this tomorrow?” Etc. I don’t even have time to bill on the clock. I work until 7p at least every night. Top 10 family law firm.
