I’m sure they have....then they woke up from that dream to the nightmare that is reality 😂

Seriously though, I’d expect 55-65 hrs to be the norm with some practices doing 65-75* (e.g., DDs).

*excluding outliers with peaks of 80-90

Can confirm🙌

Ya - I’ve had those weeks (3-5 total out of 2 years with the Firm). Mostly when I was running studies vs. just a work stream owner. All turned out great.

Yes. But only for occasional projects while an ASC or EM when I was slacking on extra-curriculars.

What extra-curriculars do you have to participate in?
