i am a first year and i currently work at a mid size firm doing defense-side professional liability (lawyers and accountants mostly) and defense-side employment (mostly discrimination cases). i would really like, once ive made a dent in my student loans, to switch to government work, either reviewing professional licensure complaints or employment discrimination complaints. does “switching sides” like that sound that sound possible? if so, how can i set myself up for success?
