I bought an XPS 13 in 2014, it’s getting pretty old and I’m going to need to replace it soon. No major complaints on XPS, and some articles I’ve seen recently seem to still rank it as one of the best laptops. It’s a little small, wondering if jumping up to XPS15 is a better call. Any other laptop recommendations?

I have an XPS15 9550 from early 2016 and it’s great, seems like it will last at least another couple years while still being quite high performing. I am partial to bigger screens so when I upgrade I may look at the XPS17, which apparently is the size of a “normal” 15” laptop from other brands.

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know.
