So let's say your client wants your team to it clock hours for 2-3 weeks surrounding Christmas. Then what? Do you work on internal? Is it appropriate to take "sick days"?

Nothing would make me happier than to have the client issue that directive. For me it would mean some use-or-lose PTO plus firm contribution activities.

*not clock hours

Plot twist. You're a new hire and don't want to use your whopping 15 pto hours. But you also don't want to sit around for a week pretending you have 8 hours worth of stuff to do every day...

Training, reinvest, network, volunteer

Mid-level here. Has anyone gotten their firm to approve their doing work at a deep discount and, if so, what strategies did you use? A potential client approached me directly about a small matter (~20 to 30 hr amicus brief). The potential client (gov’t) pays a standard rate ~40% lower than mine, but I want to take on the project because it would be a good professional opportunity (e.g., high profile case & client) and of course the lower rate won’t affect my comp directly. 🤷‍♀️ All advice welcome!
