How do you get billable work? Are you constantly knocking on doors & hunting it down? Or are assignments generally given to you? Do you ever have periods of being unable to find any?

If a recruiter asks what your average billable hours are, will you ever have to show proof of this number or no?

Hi there, starting new in private practice. My job requires billable hours. Anyone know where I can find a list of terms and descriptions I can use when I am billing clients? TIA

15+ years experience in Forensic Accounting. What would be considered fair pay in the NYC area? Average yearly Billings was 2,500, however recently took over the building out of systems, training younger staff, more marketing in a set region; basically more non billable work.

Based on the comments of many I know I’m not alone in just being weary right now and the past year. Big law litigation is just a billable hamster wheel I want to get off. I’m also done with firm politics, billable hours, and mystery comp models. But I’m a sucker for security and the “devil you know” has kept me here for years. Are lower stress law jobs a real thing in house and how do you get away from litigation if you haven’t been working hardcore on contracts?

Anyone else have to do mandatory “non-billable” hours? I just lateraled and this is blowing my mind. The ramp up has also been slow. Any tips?

For me, it's working with parents and when they are onboard, and we see the massive progress in the kids.

Lastly, what's your ideal salary range for a 20 billable hours BCBA?

How many years of FDD experience does A&M typically require? I’ve heard great things about their comp and seems like there’s so much more up side than b4 since bonuses are a % of billable hours. Anyone know what a typical A&M senior bonus was this year?

Is anyone experiencing a reduction of billable hours due to less assignments?

Partners/shareholders - how many hours are you expected to bill on work vs client dev and firm/associate management? My firm keeps saying that "there's no such thing as a relationship partner" and everyone top-to-bottom is expected to log 2000 hours/year on real billable work. Marketing etc is done on top of that. Is that normal?! If so, I'm going to have to totally rethink my life goals.

Hi guys,

I need some advice, I’ve been in a newly created role within a pharma agency for about three months now and it is not going too well. There is little to no structure or direction from senior leadership, no access to client data, little to no billable work. Worst of all, no project is related to what I have been hired to do.

I would like to move on with a different agency asap, but I’m not sure how to proceed with such a short time here.

Wondering what average billable hours are for 2022.

Internal Thoughts: Being a lawyer is already stressful enough, but these BILLABLE HOURS can kiss my entire ass! Aside from going in-house can anyone recommend some other career paths in the legal field that don’t require billables? Thanks in advance 🥲

What does everyone have for billable hours?

Imagine a person lateraling into Big Law who has never had to do the billable hours previously. 1) What would be your best piece of advice? 2) What do you wish someone would have told you about billing when you started? 3) Is there maybe a book for someone entering the minefield on billing effectively and capturing time effectively? Thanks in advance!

My husband never reads and wants to start reading as a new hobby. What is a good book that you would recommend for a 40 year old man? Not self help books, but maybe something with action. I think he would like the Bourne series, but he saw all the movies so he's not interested, but something similar.

Anybody pursuing a side hustle while on the bench?

Anyone in consulting try openly telling your engagement team that you’re recruiting and would appreciate some additional coverage temporarily? Sounds like a wild stretch lol, but need to learn PE interview basics and finance from basically scratch lol…

Does anyone else get tongue tied under pressure? I feel like I keep mixing up my words and trailing off... this doesn’t happen for oral argument, where I’ve throughly prepared and I know the information well- but when a partner asks me a question on something new, I tend to flop and my mind starts bullshitting on its own. Any tips on how to combat this?

Can we talk about the lawyering in the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard trial?

I can’t be the only following this case incessantly….

If you’re an AUSA in a busy criminal district full of big law refugees (SDNY, NDIL, CDCA, etc.), how many hours a week do you work if you’re trying to get promoted? Is it big law hours? Is there at least some relief from big law type issues like fire drills? I can’t imagine there being the same type of white collar fire drills if you’re the one creating them for big lawyers. Any truth in that assumption?

Is it beneficial to include relevant CLEs you’ve taken on your resume when applying to a job?

I switched two years ago from regional real estate/energy to a local small, but established residential real estate practice. While I’ve gained so much practical experience and run my own book here, I want to shift to a non-traditional remote role in real estate but keep getting turned down. I have strong credentials but I’m worried this small firm experience is killing my marketability to large companies.

Is Bryan Garner’s The Redbook worth getting? (I’m a 3 year associate, plaintiff litigation)

I lateraled from a small firm (30 attorneys) to a midsized firm (200 attorneys) in July as a third year corporate/M&A associate. I like the firm but I’m constantly getting biglaw recruiting emails and it has me wondering whether I should think about lateraling again in the future from midlaw to biglaw. When would be the ideal time given that I’ve only just lateraled?

Which books would you recommend to a product counel for tech startup about strategy, management, and leadership?

The billing guidelines for my client say they will not pay for parking or speeding tickets if you get one on a trip for them (I’m serious). Every warning has a story to tell, but I guess this is why people don’t like lawyers?

I was working with a partner on drafting a brief, who hated the way I wrote it, made me drastically change everything, increase the word count and spill my blood, sweat, and tears for months into editing it. Just before filing a different partner took a hand at cutting it down because it was too long - and he edited the brief back to the way I wrote it originally 🤦🏽‍♀️ Sometimes this job is an absolute joke.
