Hello. I’ve recently scheduled an interview for a position as an Assistant US Attorney. I am trying to 1) prep for interview and 2) determine if this would be a good move. I am currently staff counsel for an insurance company and the job is pretty cush. If anyone has any tips or feedback, I would greatly appreciate it.

I’ve founded 2 agencies - one brand experience agency and one UX and innovation consultancy - both have been fairly successful in attracting big clients and profitable. But honestly, I’m not sure I want to do it anymore and considering closing shop and applying for jobs/consulting. I’m 39 and feel I have tons to give. Anyone here done that, or had these feelings?
When I have good projects and good client meetings the joy spikes momentarily and I get the buzz, but I can’t shake this itch.

I feel so odd asking. Did anyone decide to not vaccinate a healthy two year old? I am struggling giving it to him for some reason. And I believe in vaccines…

Do you ever come in to an interview with work done for the client you’d be working on? Beyond initial research? Does this show initiative or usually backfire for you as presumptuous?

Waiting to hear from Novartis on a job I interviewed for 2 weeks ago. They emailed me a Conflict of Interest Form to sign last week, which got me thinking an offer was coming but I'm still waiting. Thoughts on whether this form means anything? I daydream about quitting my current toxic job :/

Is this new job DOA? I’ve been in my new role 6 weeks after interviewing extensively and getting 5 offers and thinking back on those offers I turned down. I picked this company bc I liked their product and the manager, but I’m already feeling 1. REALLY silo-ed . Not a collaborative environment (even though I’m perfectly capable of doing my own thing.)Like I have entire days I don’t talk to anyone 2. Can’t seem to get my boss’s attention on my priorities that truly should be huge company issues

1 caveat: I am an F1 student on OPT.

Hi

I'm looking for job in Insurance domain P&C with 6 year of experience can anyone help me?

So a recruiter reached out to me for a role and wants to set up an interview in the next couple of weeks. Separately a manager from the same company who I previously knew/worked with from another company reached out and wanted to just talk and connect about the role before my interview. Since we chatted I haven’t heard anything from the recruiter about a scheduled interview. Thoughts?

Hey everyone, biology degree here seeking some advice. I’ve been working as a contract dental assistant for the federal Bureau of Prisons for 4 years working my way through college and decided that dental is not for me. I kept the job since it paid for school and the hours worked out, but now I feel stuck as to where to go next. I was thinking of looking more into the biotech route and joining a coding bootcamp to get my foot in the door, but I’m not really sure where that’ll take me.

Does anyone else have a hard time with the hierarchy of law firms? I haven’t worked in every field but it seems like not all bosses have the expectations of bowing and scraping that law firm partners do. The fact that they review me at the end of the year but I don’t get to review them seems unbalanced (besides the fact that they’re paying me, which makes it all worth it, just not forever).

Welcome to a discussion board for federal government lawyers.

Are there any headhunters out there that work on getting people into a government attorney position?

Has anyone had success renegotiating pay while remaining in the same position? The last two years have significantly changed my local market and the less-than-inflation federal pay raises are not cutting it. I'd be seeking 3 steps within my current grade, but I don't know if my management even has a mechanism to make the change if they wanted to. I am aware of the Quality Step Increase, but I don't think that's the solution here.

What kind of security clearance do attorney positions with domestic agencies require? I’ve been disincentivized from seeking positions with the federal government because I’m not confident about my ability to obtain a TS clearance (high short term and medium term debt, bad credit, messy bank statements, expunged misdemeanors). But I’m not trying to stay in big law if I could land federal government at half the salary. Is it worth pursuing before cleaning up my risk factors?
