I passed the July '24 bar and have been working in a local government agency doing almost nothing at work.
I've been handling these super simple administrative hearings every day, following other attorneys in hearings to "observe" them (it's the same type of hearing over and over again, not much to learn from), and the supervisors at my office don't seem to care about the newer attorneys' development. The agency is very hierarchical, so I'm subject to the whims of the higher ups.
The pay is excellent, though--low six figures. My work involves almost no thinking, writing, nor research of any kind. It's been all easy admin hearings so far. But I fear that I'm not learning and growing here. I've worked here since September. When would it be time to start looking for other jobs?
