I need some advice: I’ve been job searching for months (currently in big law) and now I’m in a weird place of choosing between US DoJ (antitrust division, I was rejected in December and they came back with an offer recently) or an in house antitrust role in a tech company (not FAANG). The employees seem really happy at the tech company, no layoffs in decades, great compensation, and very little turnover, but the DoJ antitrust division has been my dream (just not *this* DoJ). What would you do?

Go to the tech company! You can always go to the DOJ under a different administration.

Congrats on these great offers :)

Thank you! Both parties have recently had similar views on antitrust, but I’m seeing it get politicized now as well!

Seems like the tech job is more stable right now.

Tech is not inherently unstable on smaller teams.

I would really consider taking the in house offer. I am an attorney in a large government agency right now. Try the next administration.
