I moved into local government recently after 4/5 years working in private practice and I would recommend it without hesitation.

The salary was actually an uplift from that which I earned in private practice (at a decent sized, multi-disciplinary law firm). The work is challenging and varied and whilst time recording is an important (and required) element of the role, there are no billing targets/business development requirements and a much more collegial and enjoyable working environment.

Add to this a good pension, flexible working/flexi-time and a 37 hour working week, I doubt you would want to move back into private practice.
