For the feds at the non sensitive/public trust level, sounds about right. Higher clearance level, longer lead time for review.

Gotcha. Still sounds about right, background checks are inherently slow moving. If you’re concerned, I’d reach out to whoever requested the background check just to see if there’s anything you need to submit, but otherwise it’s a waiting game.

Government is notoriously slow. Buckle up and get ready to work because you're not giving notice anytime soon

When did you know your firm wasn't right for you? I'm not sure if it's just the stress of being a new attorney with a family or if my job isn't the right fit.

I can't stay late because my kids need me and I can't work on the weekends because I have to maintain my house and take care of my kids. I'm being constantly told to work harder, stay later, etc but it's not practical. Or am I not approaching this with the right mindset?

I’m at a midsize firm in the Midwest and I’ve noticed that we’ve hired multiple associates who all graduated law school the same year. Some are coming from clerkships, other firms, etc., but they’re all on the same graduation year. This feels like it’s setting up a squeeze down the road for these folks with respect to partnership. Is there something I’m missing or is this something that will cause issues down the road?
