[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, you will be monitored because clients are more cost conscious than ever and if you’re regularly taking 15mins breaks and billing for that time, it creates an ethical issue. Or if you’re not putting in full days when someone else could, it also creates an issue. And if you’re not reviewing at the rate the project was projected on, it also creates an issue. [b]So yes, you will be monitored[/b].[/quote]

+1 I'm interviewing doc review vendors for a project right now and most of them are including their monitoring software in the pitch.  Ostensibly it's for information security but they can tell when there's no face at the computer, when a different face is there, if someone walks by in the background, if you hold up your phone to take a picture, etc.  You're not going to get away with 20 minute smoke breaks every hour, OP.

Thanks. I appreciate the input. I’m not trying to get over or be unethical in anyway. I don’t know enough about document review works thus the questions. I don’t think it will be a good fit for me. My kids will be learning from home in September. There is no way I will be able to balance popping in on them from time to time and keeping up with a high demand job that is being monitored. I guess it’s back to writing wills. Thanks [/quote]

PP here - 2 thoughts.  1) Writing wills is a much better legal job than doc review, both in the moment and for exit opportunities; and 2) if you really want something hourly there are projects and vendors that are flexible about fitting in your time when you can make it work instead of working core hours.  My guess is those go to reviewers they are familiar with first but you could definitely get your name on with a couple of different review staffing agencies and ask about each project as it comes up - you can't be staffed against your will on a project that doesn't work for you.  But it will limit your options.[/quote]

Thank you. I think your first comment is what I needed to hear. I don’t love drafting wills but it sounds like the best option for me at this current juncture. I do appreciate the honest responses. I was ready to put in my resume. Dcum for the win! This time (haha) 😉[/quote]
