[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1950 is very easy and doable. I’ve been doing 2400 on average and had a baby several years ago. Still get to spend 6:30am-8:30am and 5:30-8:30pm with child on weekdays (I pick up work again after 8:30pm as needed, maybe 2-3x/week), and usually work 2 hours on Sat and Sunday each. About once a month I put in an extra 6 hours of super focused work time on a late night or weekend to clear my to do list. My husband does all the laundry, cooking on the weekdays, and dishes unless I’m having a very light day. I do 20-30 mins of cleaning a day to keep the house tidy and cover what my husband hasn’t. We have a housekeeper come every other week.

Whether this is possible depends on who you’re working with. Are you in a group that will have a lot of random urgent requests come in at all times of day/weekends/etc? That will be a tougher adjustment. [/quote]

Or billing BS'er. [/quote]

Not sure why you think this. I’m billing close to 9hr/day from 8:30-5:30, and then around 6 additional hours every week after 8:30pm if I work 2x/week post kids bedtime. Then 4 hours on the weekend. That’s 55hrs/week of billables. Even if I take 4 weeks of vacation, which I don’t do— that’s 2640 hours a year + the 6hrs per month of extra work time = 2712. Since I’m not billing every minute I’m working, my billables come out closer to 2400, with over 300 hours being non billable.

The math works out pretty easily so why do you think I’m a troll? [/quote]

If you are billing 9 hrs per day 8:30-5:30 you are fudging your hours. This is terrible, dishonest advice. I hope OP is getting better advice from people in real life.[/quote]
