How does everyone handle billing time entries when they’re working late nights past midnight? Do you switch over to billing for the next day for tasks after 12:00am?

I switch to the next day after midnight. Some sad part of my brain likes waking up and seeing that I already have an hour or two billed for the day.

Yes, exactly.

I bill from sleep to sleep. Unless I bill a short day after billing a really long day. Then I redistribute a little.

Got chewed out for not switching over at midnight because client’s bill reviewer program thought I was padding my hours and partners had to write off my hours.

Airlines should gameify reducing emissions by rewarding flyers with discounts/coupons/miles/etc if we choose a route with a certain % lower emissions. Reason being, most people don't "really" care about saving the environment enough to inconvenience themselves or prioritize their airplane emissions over factors like duration and arrival time, but introduce basic incentives and more people will seek the greenest routes just to save a few bucks, or at least consider it a major priority.

Hello all! I was reached out by Publicis Sapient for their Technology Strategy Consulting team and by Capco. Does anyone know what's the work life balance/pay at both of these firms? I am currently at EY under tech consulting making 90K a year in NYC with 1.5 YOE Staff 2 but I do feel I am feeling a bit burnt out at EY. I was wondering if I should wait until I hit Senior then start recruiting with the Senior title or just start recruiting now. Thanks!

Plaintiffs counsel took my clients deposition today. He mentioned that he would likely be ordering the transcripts and I suggested we split the cost of them (in front of court reporter). He got pretty defensive and said absolutely not, it’s unfair to the court reporter, and that it is frowned upon in the industry to do that. Each party orders (and pays for) their own copy. I’m in my 2nd year of practice, never heard such a thing. I’ve actually split the cost before! Curious for insight on this…
