Tug o' War
So I've been quiet. I've been thinking. I am really enjoying my D.A. days here in Stillwater. I think there may be an opening and I'm trying to decide if I want it. A few months ago one of the A.D.A.s left for another office. Then the D.A. moved yours truly into her old office, where I've been ever since.
I am learing so much every day that I would really like to get hired on and learn even more...get some jury work under my belt, etc. However, I keep getting tugged by my desire to be solo. My soon to be arriving baby (December) makes me long for a steady paycheck. But I think that if we get comfortable with me having that paycheck then I'll never go solo.
Anyway, my first trials are under my belt. And I'm as hungry as ever to finish and take that bar. I absolutely HAVE to pass that sucker the first time to avoid financial ruin so I'm doing all the courses I can.

If you're interested in the work, I'd say take the ADA position and stay for 2-4 years. The money is unlikely to be so good that you'll later feel constrained to stay. And you'll get significant trial experience more quickly than you would in private practice, even a solo practice. When you do hang a shingle, your experience and contacts will make you profitable that much sooner.
