I work a "JD-preferred" job at a fairly large organization.

Pros: Good benefits, good bosses and co-workers, stress-free environment. Strict 8-5 job, I get to telecommute 1-3 days a week depending on meetings and what's going on in the office. I probably only do like 15 hours of real work a week.

Cons: Horrid pay (50k in a high COL city), boring and deadend work. Ostensibly "JD-preferred" but it's really nothing but data-entry. I'd say the work itself is more limiting than even doc review (I used to do doc review). No real room for growth here.

I often dither between man I need to hang on to this job for dear life and I need to gtfo, even if I need to go back to doc review

DB pension & formula, ESP, 401k, if so, what's the match? How's the med? What's the co-insurance? Do they pay for the gym? How much paid leave/vacation? STD?

tbf, most law work doesn't get much more interesting, if not MORE tedious and dead end.

if it's STRICT 8-5 AND good benes (esp a DB plan), stick it out. I quit a boring job at 24 that I regret now as I would have retired, FULL PENSION, at 44.
