[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]pp here ... IMO/IME to bill 40 you have to work 60+ every week, if you bill honestly.[/quote] +1. I loved the substance of my Big Law job but 60+ hours a week to [barely] make the annual billables requirement was no fun. When you're at work you feel guilty for not being home, and then when you need to be home you feel guilty for leaving work. That said, there was more support -- e.g., marketing, collections, opportunities to pick up spare projects -- than I imagine would be available at a smaller firm. (I've never been at a mid-size, though: went from Big Law to govt.) Maybe you could find a staff attorney or other non-partner-track position with a lower billable requirement? Or, have you looked at those no-overhead firms, like Axiom? [/quote]
