Thanks for taking the time to do this. Where in your career are you? What made you go into that field? Where do you want to be/could you be in 5, 10 years, etc?

Thanks so much for answering these, prosecutor is my goal I would love to work at a state/federal level but would have no problem starting in a DA's office.
Biggest question do you like your job? Also what are the opportunities for moving up in your field?

I've got an easy one for you:

How often do you go to court? Every day? Multiple hours per day? When you're not in court, are you mainly doing like desk work, or meeting w/ victims, witnesses, etc?

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for doing this!

What kind of market do you live in? To what degree would you think one's region/office changes their experience as a prosecutor?

How much do state/local politics affect the policies/day-to-day of your office?

What level of discretion do you have in charging/bargaining and what not as (assuming) a younger ada?

Are you happy with the career path you've chosen? How do you see the rest of your career playing out?
