Is billing 40 hours a month looked down on? The nature of the work in my practice group allows me to take a reasonable pace (lot of long term projects) but I feel kind of weird only billing 40 hours a week given I have a lot of friends in practice group where they’ll do 60+ hours. I recognize 40 hours a week wouldn’t necessarily really allow much time off if I want to be bonus eligible.
