[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the same not in Big Law too, without the huge salaries.[/quote] It's the same in all professional service firms where the only product is your time. When hours billed is the way you bring in money, there will always be pressure to bill more hours [/quote] The challenge is that associates are under pressure to bill more hours but, once they are partners, it's the ability to land matters where you can leverage associates to bill hours that matters most. It's a transition that can be enormously stressful once partners realize that the pressure is greater once they make partner. Clients have relatively little loyalty, and most are constantly looking for ways to reduce their legal fees. However, partners generally make a shit ton of money, so it's hard to have too much sympathy for people who buy into that system. [/quote]
