I live in Finland and work for the government. I'm a lawyer and have worked for the government in several different positions. Right now I'm working as a temporary district court judge, where the person whose position it is, is on parental leave. Previously I have worked for the public defenders office / legal aid office, did our version of clerking with a judge etc. My position is temporary, but I do enjoy the work and it is a meaningful job. Previously working in a government in a few different government offices, I have come to appreciate the concretenes of my current job and my job a the legal aid office. Working for the nameless beaureaucracy shuffling papers from one pile to the next, was not for me, even though now I have to work more hours. I don't see myself moving to the private sector partly because I make enough money and the government holidays are much better. The government provides a really good work-to-life balance, which I doubt I would be able to have, if I worked for the private sector, unless I worked as a lawyer at a big nameless corporation, where everyone is on the clock. In attorneys offices the work culture here is much like what I imagine the U.S. is, where the most important part is being present for 10+hrs a day.
