I’m exploring a transition from public accounting into Big Law and would appreciate hearing about business-professional (non-JD) roles at your firm. I know titles differ across firms, any insight would be very helpful.

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

In terms of a place to live, where in Manhattan can I find a place that's similar to River North in Chicago?

If you do billable work on a given PTO/vacation day, do you still count that day as vacation? Or do you get that vacation day "back"? Or do you only get the part that you billed "back"? (Or some other option.)
