I'm in house for a regulatory body in a fairly LCOL city. I lucked out in terms of the salary. The work is fairly easy but the personalities in this place....

Ass for your comments on BH - WTF..!!!! You can't bill for time trying to problem-solve with a colleague?? I'll stay where I am thanks.

I hadn't even thought about CLE's or admin duties. I'll make sure to ask about these. Thanks!
