Have you tried applying for government job?

Working for the DA or attorney’s office sounds horrible too because they’re overworked.

"Government" and "job" aren't words I put together willingly, but I guess there are SOME redeeming qualities about some roles where a lawyer works for the govt, so I'll play along...
First, answer a couple questions:
What do you want to accomplish with your career?
What is it about a "government job" that you envision will be better than private practice?

I know you’re trying to be helpful, but this post was not about deliberating on my choices. It’s about practical advice for achieving them.

Hi 👋🏻 Would love some support here - looking to build out a bonus structure for a Sales Engagement Mgr role - it isn't a typical sales role - this person will be closing deals but not necessarily securing leads. If they will be scoring leads, it will be organic via conferences, partnerships. Of course, we want to encourage and incentivize this person. Potentially giving then an extra 20-50k bonus potential. How do I build this out? Any suggestions or examples would be super helpful. Thank you!!

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?
