Business Outlook

Pros

I've had phenomenal casework experience, the opportunity to make a real difference at organizations that needed the help. I manage incredibly talented teams and am constantly growing on the job.

Cons

Very demanding lifestyle, in hours work, in travel, in stress levels from the intensity and importance of the work. Casework experience has an element of luck in it - I've had almost unbelievable opportunities, but other people are far less excited about their cases.

Still pretty much local; you never decide - you suggest, with all the implications related to; WLB is not hell but at the same time is not really good
