Being a former federal (non-law) employee with lots of current-Fed friends - the work environment under the current regime is positively toxic. I’d stay as far away as possible for the time being.

Yes there is a freeze on hiring especially with civil cases within the civil division

I’d suggest checking USAJobs.gov regularly since they usually have the most accurate updates for federal positions. No telling how long the federal hiring freeze will last though.

I know that for all Executive Branch jobs there is a hiring freeze. It could have been lifted but I haven't seen anything on it being lifted

Currently a paralegal at a small start up financial services company been there for just a little over a year. I wear “multiple hats” but more recently I’ve done a lot of PM work and some BA work. My position title is changing soon but I’m wondering how helpful that would be for wanting to go into PM work at a tech company. Anyone have any career pivot advice?

For those of you who made the switch to in house/corporate law, what was your experience like? Did you have to take a lower position to gain the experience or were you able to argue that your soft skills were transferable to in house?

So I’ve been with a court for a while and honestly the pay sucks compared to what paralegals should be making… the benefits are great though and they match my retirement 100% now that I’m vested at 3 years.I have 4 kids and 1 is getting ready for college. I feel like the benefits are great but I’d rather make more now. I am a previous LEO for 4 years who switched to paralegal so I have my leo retirement. Paralegals here make $28 with no benefits what is a good compromise
