Business Outlook
Pros
I enjoyed being able to work on a variety of matters in different industries and the flexibility to work when it suited my schedule. I was able to work on both domestic and international matters that eventually led to a full time job with a Big Law firm.
Cons
It's the nature of the industry - the lack of lead time to the contract attorney when a project ends. And as the competition got smaller with mergers some of the best perks (earned PTO with 60 hour work weeks) went away. While some recruiters pay attention to performance metrics other than simply dph, some recruiters staff with poor performers who are merely "fast clickers" just to fill projects.
