[quote=Anonymous]OP, you’ve GOT to stop all the non billable stuff other than mandatory training. Seriously, I’m not doing JACK that’s not billable. Fuck that. Push back for your own sake. My rule of thumb was to bill at least 180 a month. That’s 9 billable hours a day without counting weekends. Do whatever you need to do to get there. That’s over 2000 a year and will give you some cushion if you miss that target one month. It doesn’t work out perfectly every month, but that’s my measuring stick. I agree with another PP that it’s ok to miss your hours the first year, but next year people will not be so understanding. If you truly believe that you cannot sustain a life in big law, keep looking hard for a job. It takes a really little by time to find something (6 months to a year), so it seems like you need to dedicate some serious time to this now. Also, don’t have your husband stop working, particularly if you’re already strapped for cash. [/quote]
