I have heard there has been a mass exodus from DoJ in the last year due to firings and disagreements with leadership. Are recruiters seeing a significant increase in DoJ veterans looking for jobs? And does the DoJ experience tend to transfer well to BigLaw? I guess what I am looking for is how much competition the increase in DoJ attorneys in the job market is causing and how competitive those attorneys generally are.

I hate when people use the phrase “I would die for (xyz)” when xyz is something no one would actually die for - like a random cute dog on the internet or whatever. I mean, would you really die for that? It’s cute and all, but, no, I would not die for it.

Do you follow any co-workers on social media? Why, or why not?

Happy wife happy life is a really toxic saying. I’m just shocked how this has become the standard saying for men in relationships. I have friends of mine saying this all the time, and I have just thought it’s so cringe and always want to say my thoughts on it but always decide to hold back. However, imagine the saying reversed - happy husband happy life - that would lead to all kinds of uproar. To me happy wife happy life means I need to sacrifice my wants and needs to make my wife happy.
