What is your profession, how many hours do you work each week and how much do you make a year?

Your butt is going to get shown the door soon if you're telling the truth. 40 hours worked is 35 hours, at best, which means you're barely breaking 1800 hours a year. Good luck after the lay off.


DP. Doubtful unless there’s a lot of competition within the group for work. The billing rates these days pay for an associate salary in the first couple months of the year. Even accounting for overhead there’s a LOT of cushion for associates to coast and still be part of the profit generation machine. Partners just don’t want them to know.

+1. My (billable) hourly salary comes out to a quarter of my billing rate.

Yeah, not typical at all. Usually sales people working on commissions work long hours to get their commissions. What field do you work in?

This person said it was all WFH, so costing them even less in overhead overall.

I would like to hear more about this! What setting? Law firm? Solo? In house? What type of law? $350k for 30 hours is not bad.


I’m an equity partner in a litigation boutique.

Do you have annual billing expectations? How many hours are you billing annually? Are you working 30 hours total per week, or billing 30 hours total per week? Hourly rate?

No, I don’t have annual billing expectations. I work as much as I want to work, which is at present not that much, but it only impacts my comp so nobody can complain. I usually bill around 20 hrs per week, work a total of about 30, but this fluctuates of course depending on what’s happening with my clients. I definitely have some weeks where I bill closer to 40 hours and then some where I hardly bill at all. My billable rate is $800 for most of my work.

What grade level do you teach?
What district? My district doesn’t get anywhere near $130K, even at year 30 with a PhD. Does the NBCT cert factor in?
