Is it normal to go over budget? There always seems to be an issue that pushes us over. Should I eat time to keep from looking bad? I am working my ass off and hoping it isn't me but it happens often.

Short answer: don’t eat your time

Thank you for the advice everyone. I guess it's just hard not to stress with imposter syndrome + hearing about going over budget. I am in PA for the long term so I really want to protect my reputation.

Don’t eat your time. Honestly if a partner would charge 1 less hour a staff could spend 10 extra and the team will still end up budget positive from a $ perspective. Just think about that. Both worth eating your time. All that does is hurt you

Stop worrying about the past. Speak up and tell your seniors/managers that you think something is taking longer than they had expected. They will either 1) give you pointers to get things done faster or 2) acknowledge it and move on

If I'm really locked in, I can get a serious amount of work done fast. feel free to add yours (please lmao💀).

1992: Ukraine holds about one third of the Soviet nuclear arsenal, the third largest in the world at the time, as well as significant means of its design and production.

1994: Ukraine agrees to dissolve the entire nuclear arsenal in exchange for “safety guarantees” from Russia, USA and the UK, becoming only nation in the history to willingly give up nukes.

2022: They are fucked and nobody wants to intervene with troops because “Russia has nukes”

I recently presented to some potential new hires on a video call. DURING the call, one of the potential hires sent me a DM on LinkedIn saying "Hey ;) Maybe we can collaborate" What the hell do I do?

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??
