I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal. I had so many non billable hours I was forced to take when I first came in. I worked my ass off in busy season. At my previous firm I never fell short of hours as it was B4. This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??

I agree with TM1 that you should check what year those hours are based on. However, if you can’t meet it 1/1-12/31 I’m not sure how you would meet it 7/1-6/30. Maybe your firm gives a leniency when you first start for onboarding and training. I’m not 100% sure but I think first year associates at my firm are given a reduced hour expectation the first year because of all the training when they first start. Normal hour expectation is 1,700 annually and for first year I think it’s either 1,620 or 1,660. Our local office also sends out a billable hour report. It comes to managers and above every week so we can see where everyone is and help manage their hours. It goes out monthly to everyone below manager so they can see where they are year-to-date

Yes there is so much training! I work at Marcum and I’m pretty sure the hours, even for first years was 1,700 but they’d usually end up short because of all the training when they first start. I’m not sure if the entire company changed it or just my local office but they reduced hours for first years because of this.

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
