Why? Just so in half a decade some 25-year old MBA consultant can determine AI can perform your job at an acceptable level?

need more details, tough to say. you're currently full time remote and looking at a higher paying, more prestigious, in person job?

im pretty sure people are still sleeping on in person jobs at this point. HR screens always say the role has to come into the office 2x a week like its a major draw back

full-time in-person well paying prestigious job (5+ hours of work per week) to full-time in-person slightly better paying slightly more prestigious job (40+ hours of work per week).

I'm 5 years into my legal career and there's no longer anything left for me to learn in my current position.

I could sit around for another 20 years collecting a $200K paycheck and doing 5 hours of work per week, but that seems unmanly and undignified to me.

OTOH I could just start reading for pleasure and read novels at my desk. For the past two months, I've been hiding under my desk playing Nintendo Switch, but it's a little cramped there. Maybe I could buy a screen to pull over the glass pane to my office so passersby can't see me goofing off.

really depends on your other life goals

if you have any other ambitions you should stick with the sinecure imo. trying other pursuits when you have a full time real job is extremely difficult if not impossible for almost everyone

I want to be an AUSA and USDJ.

This opportunity would give me substantive litigation experience in discovery, motions practice, settlement, trial, etc.

I would not have the opportunity to acquire/develop these skills in my current position.

In short, I would like to be a gay, fat, bald, retarded litigator.

appreciate hearing your thought process, as foreign as it is to me. seems like AUSA and USDJ are hard to get unless you have a lot of prestige AND connections AND the right party in office - but maybe you do. and a transition is obviously a big one-time hit, in addition to, you might actually have to work a lot harder per wee going forward. sounds like you know what you want to sign up for anyway
