Good advice, P3 and C1. Frankly, I just did 2400 this year and I feel fine. It’s the unpredictability that sucks. 2600 is 217/month and 54ish/week (incorporating 4 weeks off), all of which I think are totally doable, provided that the work is there. If I’m sitting around for a new matter and now need to put in 85 hours bc last week was a dud week, that’s where it’s hard.

Is there a good way to leverage this respectfully? I ultimately want an action plan for growth, a concrete job description, and a pay increase.
