[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because that’s what internal competition at places like Deloitte does to people. They brag about it. And have zero idea their net pay per hour is closer to minimum wage. [/quote] I felt that way about BIGLAW many years ago. Every extra 100 hours that I billed made another $75k for the firm, but I only saw a small percentage of that (~$18-20k) Yet those extra hours cut into gym time, sleep, dating, etc... My overhead was covered by the first 700 hours that I billed of the minimum 2,000, so every hour that I billed was just pure profit for the firm. So why bother, especially with Uncle Sam and the state/local government taking 50% of that anyway.[/quote]
