Depends on your firm and group. In my group, you’d be perfectly fine with the billable target. Other firms and groups have a higher threshold that you should be able to find out by talking with other associates in your group.
If you’re hitting your target, you should be fine, and if you’re not fine, you want a different firm anyway. Also, if your work product is good and you’re hitting minimums, you’re making them a lot of money, and they’re not in the business of throwing away a revenue source.
If you’re hitting your targets each month, I can’t imagine you’ll run into an issue. What is the culture like at your firm? Is everybody else competing to see who can bill the most hours each month or they like you? Hitting their hours and enjoying their life?
Once you're hitting the target, there are metrics (e.g., collections) that start to matter more than just rote number of billed hours. Billing 2,100 hours where 100 of them get written off because the associate was churning or taking longer than warranted is worse than billing 2,000 hours where you were efficient and produced high quality work product that required very little revision by the partner. Also, level of overall "busyness" in the group makes a difference. As long as you're pulling your weight in terms of being willing to take on work, help out where asked, etc. the fact that other associates may have more hours technically billed should not impact how others perceive you as a valued team member.
It’s a very odd environment. I’m a partner. I have no idea what the associates or others on the team are billing. I do know that some don’t make the minimum hours. I also know I’m likely under billing as I worry about clients cutting bills. I’ve been here 5 months and, knock on wood, haven’t had any bills cut yet as far as I am aware.
